On his way to make a stand
A little boy becomes a man
Another soldier calling home
Just to hear a mother's voice
In a world made out of sand
He holds the phone tight in his hand
And waits to hear the only words
That can cut right through the noise
I'm gonna pray for you
I 'm gonna pray for you
Until you're in my arms
I'm gonna pray for you
I'm gonna wait for you
Until you're safe from harm
I'm gonna pray for you
In an alley dark and cold
There's a young girl no one holds
And it's been a long long time
Since she's felt anything
There's a father on his knees
Saying someone help her please
Find my little girl who's lost
As he hears the church bell ring
I'm gonna pray for you
I'm gonna pray for you
Until you're in my arms
I'm gonna pray for you
I'm gonna wait for you
Until you're safe from harm
I'm gonna pray for you
In an alley dark and cold
There's a Savior no one holds
And it's been a long long time,
I'm gonna pray for you
I'm gonna pray for you
Until you're in my Father's arms
I'm gonna pray for you
I'm gonna wait for you
Yes I will wait
Until you're safe
Until your faith can lead you home
I'm gonna pray
