Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You’re staring out the kitchen window
Uniform folded in the hall
Those nights still march behind your eyelids
You say “it’s nothing”
But I hear it all
Our oldest lines up little soldiers
Repeats the same word ten times straight
The toddler’s pouring milk on the floor now
The baby’s crying
And I’m already late
[Chorus]
So God
Give me arms that don’t get tired
Give me a laugh when I want to cry
Give me the words when his world goes quiet
When the weight gets heavy
And I can’t ask why
Bless this table
Chipped and crowded
Every bill and broken chair
Hold this house we’re holding together
This is a wife’s prayer
[Verse 2]
Clock in
Smile at the screen glow
“Weekend was good
” I always say
Hide the homework
Hospital paperwork
In a folder marked “another day”
Drive home through fast-food wrappers
Practice patience at red lights
Rehearse how I’ll say “I’m okay”
While counting paydays
And sleepless nights
[Chorus]
So God
Give me arms that don’t get tired
Give me a laugh when I want to cry
Give me the words when his world goes quiet
When the weight gets heavy
And I can’t ask why
Bless this table
Chipped and crowded
Every bill and broken chair
Hold this house we’re holding together
This is a wife’s prayer
[Bridge]
You saw him through the desert
See him through this living room
Trade the sound of distant thunder
For our daughter humming out of tune
Catch my anger
Catch my worry
Turn them into steady hands
Teach me how to love him gently
When he flinches at my plans (oh Lord)
[Chorus]
So God
Give me arms that don’t get tired
Give me a laugh when I want to cry
Give me the words when his world goes quiet
When the weight gets heavy
And I can’t ask why
Bless this table
Chipped and crowded
Every scar and whispered fear
Wrap this war-torn
Worn-out family
In a love that keeps us here
[Outro]
For the soldier sleeping lightly
For the babies everywhere
For this one-income
Fragile miracle
Hear this wife’s prayer
