Miner's Child from Breathe by Lifebreakthrough

Miner's Child
words and music: Hubert Dapliyan

Got a whisper on his leaving to his kids and wife goodbye
I love you and I'll miss you hugs and kisses please don't cry
He got a prayer every morning before getting beneath the ground
Please lead and make it safe and get me back home again

Chorus
I was born from a dusty town and I'm a miner's child
I was raised with a simple life and we're taught to be polite
We go to church on Sundays, sing choir, sing hallelujah
We read the Gospel, we say the grace, and we worship with mountain praise

Got to swim on the river, catch tadpoles and dragonflies
We climb the pine on the hill and watch the running timberline
We got a prayer every evening as we gather at dinner time
Thank you for the food we take, the blessings in every way

Adlib

I haven't seen you for years, got to visit where I used to be
I was met by my daddy still strong on his seventies
He had a prayer in the morning before we have a cup of tea
Thank You, Lord, for he's fine and for leading my boy back to me

Chorus

Coda
We go to church on Sundays, sing choir, sing hallelujah
We read the Gospel, we say the grace, and we worship with mountain praise
