When You're Hurting

Faded bib overalls
And folded hands
Sore back and bruised elbows
Fields in a perfect row
Prayers at dinner time
And steady laughing

You always gave us your all
Even when the Lord made the rain fall

No you won't see me cry
Or Look towards the sky
Ask the Lord why
Oh Son you need to know
The rain helps us grow
Let those angels sing
When you're hurting

Hurt like I've never known
When you had to go
Ball games and county fairs
I see you there
Oh this church pew knows yeah
I need you not to go

No you won't see me cry
Or Look towards the sky
Ask the Lord why
Oh Dad now I know
The rain helps us grow
Let those angels sing
When you're hurting

Let those angels sing
When you're hurting
