Billy Falcon Still Got A Prayer
As my daddy lay there on Omaha Beach It didn't look good For my brothers and me There were 24 hours on that longest day now ten thousand crosses Scar the beach where they lay Under machine gun fire On that blood day called D Back home a young girl was praying God bring him home for me CHORUS When you reach out And nobody's there Scream and shout No one seems to care When you think you've got nothing left to hold on to When you cry out And nobody hears Just fear and doubt All you've left is tears When you think You've got nothing left to hold on to You've still got a prayer When my mother was born On that South Brooklyn street It didn't look good For my brothers and me Born in the back of a store That sold cigars and candy Cold she lay crying And that's the way it would be CHORUS She took her last breath And I kissed her goodbye Walked down that hospital hall Trying so hard not to cry As he took his last breath On calvary's tree It didn't look good No there wasn't much hope For my brothers and me CHORUS ----------------------------------------
