Thought you'd like to know

All those nights you paced the floor

Praying that I would make it home alright,

Believing in god that he would someday save my soul

Well he did, just thought you'd like too know.



Then I thought you'd like to know

All those prayers you prayed for me,

Never a-one fell to the ground, I know

Sometimes it look like I was a million miles from grace

But he answered your prayers, just thought you'd like too know.



[Chorus]

Oh momma I want you to know I love you,

Please forgive my for all the times I broke your heart

Every tear you cried for me, drew me closer too being free,

And I want too thank you, just thought you'd like too know.



Then I thought you'd like too know

That I wish I could live my life again,

If I could, I would surely make amends,

And if I could help my brother,

A new life to discover, oh I would,

Just thought you'd like too know.



[Chorus]
