Chat Wit God As I Pray

A many talks I have
a phone chats with mom  and  dad
Facebooking my friends
Long after dinner time
And if I really think about communication
 the old fashion way
I call them upon my land-line 
What's a land-line
And what ever happen to Northeastern Bell
well 
that's how we talk to each other human to human
But when I wake up in the new day
I fall on my knees
and chat wit God as I pray
Oh! I fall on my knees 
and have a chat wit God as I pray

What's the matter, got all this chatter on Twitter
Space chat is what's up, what is that
Does any one Email any more
And what is a phone booth 
And does anyone remember Mother Goose  

Facebooking my friends
Long after dinner time
And if I really think about communication
 the old fashion way
I call them upon my land-line 
What's a land-line
And what ever happen to Northeastern Bell
well 
I Snap chat, Google and Verizon, Teen Mobile CenturyLink
All this downloading and less and or no praying
 now before you fall asleep
with the phone in your hand
because your mind got over headed by all your Texting
I got a better communication
But when I wake up in the new day
I fall on my knees
and chat wit God as I pray
Oh! I fall on my knees 
and have a chat wit God as I pray
But when I wake up in the new day
I fall on my knees
and chat wit God as I pray
Oh! I fall on my knees 
and have a chat wit God as I pray
Anytime, every time anywhere I don't care
Stop talking space head
 fall on my knees 
and have a chat wit God as I pray
