Daddy never went to church on Sunday 爸爸从来没有去教堂周日

He said that's one thing I'll never do 他说，这是一件事我永远也不会做

But mama never gave up she said one day 但妈妈从来没有放弃过，她说1天

He'll be sitting here beside of me and you 他会坐在这里我和你的身边

I can still hear mama softly talking 我仍然能听到妈妈轻声说话

With her tears falling on her folded hands 用她的眼泪落在她的双手合十

So that Easter Sunday Daddy walked in 让复活节爸爸走了进来

That's when I began to understand 这时候，我开始明白

   

When mama prayed, good things happen 当妈妈祈祷，好事发生

When mama prayed, lives were changed 当妈妈祈祷，生命被改变

Not much more than five foot tall 没有多少超过五英尺高

But mountains big and small crumbled all away 但大山和小碎全部带走

When mama prayed 当妈妈祈祷

   

Seventeen and wild I hit the bottle 十七和野生我打瓶

Doing anything I dang well please 做什么我宕好请

Burning down life's highway at full throttle 焚烧生活的高速公路全油门

While mama burned a candle on her knees 虽然妈妈烧蜡烛在她的膝盖

Then one night I came home half sober 后来有一天晚上，我回到家一半清醒

I saw mama kneeling in the den 只见在书房妈妈跪

As I listened she and Jesus talked it over 当我听到她和耶稣谈论它了

And I knew my restless days were 'bout to end 我知道我的不安分的日子回合结束

   

When mama prayed, good things happen 当妈妈祈祷，好事发生

When mama prayed, lives were changed 当妈妈祈祷，生命被改变

Not much more than five foot tall 没有多少超过五英尺高

But mountains big and small crumbled all away 但大山和小碎全部带走

When mama prayed 当妈妈祈祷

   

It isn't like every one of them got answered 它不像他们每个人都得到了回答

But the times they weren't it seems to me were rare 但他们并没有看起来的时间对我来说很罕见

You almost felt sorry for the devil 你几乎觉得对不起魔鬼

'Cause heaven knows he didn't have a prayer 因为天知道他没有祈祷

When mama prayed 当妈妈祈祷

   

Not much more than five foot tall 没有多少超过五英尺高

But mountains big and small crumbled all away 但大山和小碎全部带走

When mama prayed 当妈妈祈祷

They crumbled all away 他们土崩瓦解全部带走

When mama prayed 当妈妈祈祷
