C#m
I heard her praying, praying, praying mmh
C#m
I said I heard my mother
C#m
I heard her praying, praying, praying mmh (She was praying in the night)
C#m                          F#m
And the words that she said (the words that she said)
C#m                           F#m
They still linger in my head (linger in my head)
Ab

He needs protection"
