Praying for Her
By American Anthem Co.
[Verse 1: Male Voice]At fourteen, I was just a boy with a dream
Fell hard for the girl who was everything to me
Wrote her a note, asked, "Would you date someone younger?
"Never got an answer, took silence as a thunder
Still, I prayed every night, please let her see
That I’d love her forever, just let her notice me
[Verse 2: Female Voice]Years went by, I was chasing my own star
Never knew he was there, loving me from afar
One day it hit me, the way he always cared
I saw the man he’d become and knew nothing else compared
So I turned to him and said, "Maybe it’s time,
We head down to Arkansas and make your prayers mine."
[Chorus: Together]From a courthouse vow to a lifetime shared
Through laughter, through tears, through moments spared
He was my rock, and I was his prayer
A love built on faith, stronger than the air
[Verse 3: Male Voice]Three perfect kids, a family we made
Little league games, school board parades
Vacations that felt like we had it all
Midwest sunsets, picture-perfect and tall
But thirty years later, the spark starts to fade
She’s distant now, my heart feels betrayed
[Chorus: Together]From a courthouse vow to a lifetime shared
Through laughter, through tears, through moments spared
He was my rock, and I was his prayer
A love built on faith, stronger than the air
[Bridge: Female Voice]Didn’t know you saw the way I’d light up
Didn’t mean to lose the man who taught me love
Can we go back to where it began?
Find the girl in me, the boy in your hands?
[Verse 4: Male Voice]Now I’m back to fourteen, my heart on my sleeve
Praying for her love, for the girl I believe
Every night I kneel, the same words I say
"God, let her see me, let her love me someday"
[Chorus: Together]From a courthouse vow to a lifetime shared
Through laughter, through tears, through moments spared
He was my rock, and I was his prayer
A love built on faith, stronger than the air
[Outro: Together]Sometimes love circles back to the start
A boy with a note, a girl with his heart
Through the years, the faith never strayed
Forever praying, forever stayed.
