She's been
a golden -haired child,
a flower on her family tree.
Now her mother weeps
as her little black sheep
reveals a brand new destiny.
She whispers a prayer at their doorstep.
God won't you please turn the tide.
But he already knows the prayers
of those who greet her on the other side.
And what does God do
with opposite prayers?
Will he answer yours
or will he answer theirs?
Is it all in the faith
or the right and the wrong?
Is it already written in old gospel songs?
Do we ever confuse Him up there
with opposite prayers?
Here stands a brave little soldier
with his country's flag on his sleeve.

They're just as brave with a
tear and a wave as a

with opposite prayers
Will He answer yours
or will He answer theirs

A husband holds on to a picture
A black and white memory of old
The girl in the veil is now weak and frail
But his heart just won't let her go

not to take her
There's no face in this world on his own
But God heard her pray
that he'd be okay
if she closed her eyes and moved on
What does God do with opposite prayers
Will He answer yours
or will He answer theirs?
Is it all in the faith
or the right and the wrong?
Is it already written in old gospel songs?
Do we ever confuse Him up there?
Do we ever confuse Him up there?
Do we ever confuse Him up there
with opposite prayer
