Heart felt good singer songwriter song
I would look at the last line of the first verse
Other than that good guitar sounds good
I liked the melody

Corey, thanks.  Good catch on the first verse, I’ll fix that on the recording.

Thanks for the listen.

Say A Prayer For Me

Written by David Martin

So You Could Take A Knee by David Martin

I am a Union soldier
I was killed at Gettysburg
I'm a teenage boy in jail because
my daddy's just too poor

I'm black and I want to know
How police look at me
I'm the widow of a man who died
To keep this country free

Chorus
Say a prayer when you kneel down
for every state for every town
When the flag is raised and you drop down on one knee
Please remember, say a prayer for me

I am a little girl in church
killed by a coward's bomb
I'm Navajo and Cree and Sioux
and tribes completely gone

Chorus

I 'm a man with five good friends
I lost in Viet Nam
My father fought at Normandy
My uncle at Bataan

Chorus

Woody said this land
Was made for you and me
I know there's room for all of us
To live our hopes and dreams

I'll say a prayer for you
Please say a prayer for me
We're all in this together
From sea to shining sea

Chorus

I'll say a prayer for you
Please say a prayer for me
