In A Prayer - Willie P. Bennett
When I said that I was leaving
My hopes were failing it was plain
My head was resting on your shoulder
My heart was fighting just the same
But when I said I would not harm you
You knew my feelings must be strong
The only time that you'll think of me
Is when I'm gone
So know I come back with my pockets
Out of shape from what I've been
Thinking about what we go through
To try and end up with no shame
Rest in peace my weary mother
Dream of freedom my lonely dad
My grandfather was the one I loved
He was the only one I had
My brothers and sisters I'Il be with them
Though they will not see me there
The only time they'll think of me
Is in a prayer
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
