[Verse 1]
My grandma laid hands on my head
Every single night I went to bed
Speaking in a language that I didn't understand
[Verse 2]
My mama read the word every single day
Never ate a meal without saying grace
And I've seen miracles happen in Jesus' name
[Verse 3]
I spent most of my life
Acting like a fool
I've done so many things
My dad wouldn't approve
But still I'm standing here
Like some kind of living proof
That maybe I got where I am today
'Cause somebody prayed
[Chorus]
Somebody prayed
Somebody prayed
Somebody prayed
Somebody prayed for me
Somebody prayed for me
[Verse 4]
My granddad, he was always reading
I'm thinking that might be the reason
I'm still standing here today
He prayed that the door would shut
So a better one would open up
Hallelujah, praise the Lord
[Verse 5]
I spent most of my life
Acting like a fool
I've done so many things
My dad wouldn't approve
But still I'm standing here
Like some kind of living proof
That maybe I got where I am today
'Cause somebody prayed
[Chorus]
Somebody prayed
Somebody prayed
Somebody prayed
Somebody prayed for me
Somebody prayed for me
[Bridge]
Somebody
Somebody
I pray if you hear this
You know you are loved
I pray if you hear this
That you know you're enough
I pray if you hear this
You never give up
I pray for you
Lord knows I pray for you
[Chorus]
I pray if you hear this
You know you are loved
I pray if you hear this
That you know you're enough
I pray if you hear this
At the end of the day you can say
Now you can say
That somebody prayed
That somebody prayed
That somebody prayed
That somebody prayed
That somebody prayed for you
Somebody prayed for you
Somebody prayed
That somebody prayed
That somebody prayed for you
That somebody prayed for you
Somebody prayed for you

Forrest Frank's song 'Somebody Prayed' is a heartfelt reflection on the power of intercessory prayer. He recalls his grandmother praying over him as a child, his mother reading Scripture and saying grace, and his grandfather's prayers for God's guidance. Despite his past mistakes, he sees himself as living proof that prayer makes a difference. The song transitions into a blessing for listeners, praying that they know they are loved, enough, and encouraged not to give up. It emphasizes gratitude for the prayers of family and the ongoing impact of prayer in one's life.
