Where are the prayers of the mothers?
Only Heaven could know,
Tell me oh Lord.
Where they are stored,
In a spring that in Eden flows?
Where are the prayers of the mothers?
Prayers that daily ascend,
During ring around the rosey
Or making babe cozy,
Pious prayers plead end to end.
Where are the hopes of the mothers?
Hopes that somewhere soar,
Hope's there in the heart
To quickly impart
To a child forevermore.
Where are the dreams of the mothers?
Dreams that aptly aspire,
To achieve this life's best
Is a righteous request,
And run the race and not tire.
Where are the prayers of the mothers?
Prayers so silently pled?
They're shining at midnight,
Glowing in moonlight,
Lighting our way ahead.
