Here I am again, now my boy is ten
As I pray for him each night
My heart remembers when
He was very small, now he's grown so tall
Reading books, and running fast and playing ball.
My how time flies, tears fill my eyes.

(chorus)
I'm still praying for you, my boy,
And proud of all you've done.
No matter what this life may bring
You'll always be my son.

Tugging at my heart,
driving my old car
Call me when you get there,
please don't go too far
Soon you're twenty-five,
found yourself a wife
God has blessed your union with a little child.
My how time flies, tears fill my eyes.

(chorus)
I'm still praying for you, my boy
And proud of who you've become
And though you are a Daddy now
You'll always be my son.

Jesus on the cross,
sent to save the lost
Fighting just to catch a breath
The Holy Son of God
Mary on her knees echoes her son's plea
My God, my God why have you forsaken me?
Still she knows why He came
You can almost hear her say

(chorus)
I'm still praying for you, my boy
Hang on, you're almost done
No matter what the people say
You'll always be my Son.
I'm still praying for you, my boy
The victory's already won
And even though you have to die
You'll always be my Son,
let Your Kingdom come
Christ, the Holy One.
