	Story Behind the Song This song captured the heart of band member Tony. We rarely sing songs about Mothers and Fathers, but this song's meaning was too powerful to leave alone, so we recorded it as a title cut. It took around 3 takes to record and edit. Lyrics As a child, I thought that mom could walk on water, Though others had their heroes, she was mine, She never traveled far, or gained much worldly honor, But she could reach the throne of God at any time (Cho) Lord would you tell my momma, That tonight her prayers were answered, When the angels were rejoicing, it was for me, From the path of sin, my soul has been delivered, Please tell momma, that by her prayers I now am free With each passing day, momma prayed for my salvation, Though her Christian ways just never fit my life, Since she made it home, I know that shell be waiting, Wish I could see her face, when she gets this news tonight..
