Mother, Shake Hands With Me

I am the one
You prayed so hard for
You thought that I'd gone too far
But Mother your prayers
They have all been answered
Now, Mother shake hands with me.

Many a night, I'd walk by your bedside
Thinking that you were asleep
But I'd hear you say
Dear Lord, I thank you
I knew who you'd ask him to keep.

Now, Mother I know
Your heart is still aching
For the ones still outside
But Mother lets pray
They'll come home to you and say
Mother shake hands with me, too.
I am the one
You prayed so hard for
You thought that I'd gone too far
But Mother your prayers
They have all been answered
Now, Mother shake hands with me.
