The Only One Who's Prayin'
Prayers Unanswered, Love Discovered: The Only One Who's Prayin'
Lyrics
For as long as I recall
Reflecting on memories, recalling events from the past.
Mama's always joked about
Mama often jokes about the speaker's romantic future.
How hard I'm gonna fall
Mama predicts a significant emotional fall in love.
The day I finally meet
Anticipation of meeting the person destined by God.
The one God made for me
Mentioning the person God has created for the speaker.
She's been waiting for a while now
Mama has been waiting patiently for the speaker's love to arrive.
Wondering how long it might be
Contemplating the duration of the wait.
I know every time the sun sinks down at night
Observing the sunset triggers thoughts about finding love.
Mama shuts her eyes and asks God to help me find
Mama prays for divine guidance in the speaker's quest for love.
Someone to share my days
Desire for a companion to share daily life.
And little ones to raise
Aspiring to have a family and raise children.
Well, the sun keeps on fading
Symbolic mention of time passing.
She's patiently waiting
Mama remains patient despite the prolonged wait.
But, Mama, ain't the only one who's prayin'
Highlighting that Mama is not the only one praying for love.
Are you dating, anyone?
Mama inquires about the speaker's dating life.
She asks me every time I'm home
Mama consistently asks whenever the speaker is home.
I just smile and say I'm not
The speaker deflects, implying no current romantic involvement.
Don't work yourself to death
Mama advises the speaker not to overwork and to relax.
Darlin', stop and take a breath
Encouragement to pause and consider potential partners.
There's someone waiting out there
Assurance that the right person is waiting to be met.
You just haven't met 'em yet
Reiterating the idea of an undiscovered soulmate.
I know every time the sun sinks down at night
Similar to line 8, expressing thoughts during sunset.
Mama shuts her eyes and asks God to help me find
Mama continues praying for the speaker's love journey.
Someone to share my days
Reiteration of the desire for companionship and family.
And little ones to raise
Longing for a partner and children to nurture.
Well, the sun keeps on fading
Symbolic reference to time passing and anticipation.
She's patiently waiting
Mama remains patient despite the prolonged wait.
But, Mama, ain't the only one who's prayin'
Emphasizing that others also pray for the speaker's love.
I can't wait to tell her
The speaker is eager to share exciting news with Mama.
I think I've found the one
The speaker believes they have found their life partner.
After all those years of hopeful prayers
After years of hope, the speaker's quest for love seems fulfilled.
Her work is finally done
Mama's prayers are seemingly answered.
I know every time the sun sinks down at night
Similar to lines 8 and 22, contemplating love during sunset.
Mama shuts her eyes and asks God to help me find
Mama continues to seek divine assistance for the speaker.
Someone to share my days
Reiteration of the desire for a life partner and children.
And little ones to raise
Expressing the longing for a family and parenthood.
Well, the sun keeps on fading
Symbolic reference to time passing and anticipation.
She's patiently waiting
Mama remains patient despite the prolonged wait.
But, Mama, ain't the only one who's prayin'
Highlighting that Mama is not the only one praying for love.
Oh my Mama, ain't the only one prayin'
Reaffirmation that Mama is not alone in praying for the speaker's love.
