Verse 1
Somebody somewhere was praying for me
Though my eyes were opened, still I could not see
That all that I needed I could find on my knees
Somebody somewhere was praying just for me

Verse 2
Must have been my mother who was pleading my case
While I was out straying she was down on her face
Asking the Father to have mercy on me
Without the prayers of my mother tell me where would I be

Chorus
Somebody somewhere (somebody somewhere)
Was praying for me (praying for me)
While my eyes were opened still I could not see
That all that I needed I could find on my knees
Somebody somewhere, praying just for me
(repeat)

Verse 3
I know that my family has been praying for me
Through their intercessions I am now made free
So if you have loved ones that you are in need
You just keep on praying and soon you will see

Bridge
The prayers of the righteous, availeth much
Keep on praying, keep on praying
(repeat)

Somebody somewhere was praying for me (ooh, ooh)
While my eyes were opened still I could not see
That all that I needed I could find on my knees
Somebody somewhere was praying, praying...

Altos: ...Just for me
Sopranos: Somebody somewhere was praying
Tenors: Could have been my mother, my sister or my brother
