Our Host, Lori La Bey talks with Jay Allen. Jay is known for his appearance on The Voice and for his song about dementia that went viral, “Blank Stares.” The song was written to honor his mother who passed from Alzheimer’s. The song went viral, reaching over 500 million views on Facebook, and showcased Jay’s talent and dedication to raising awareness for the Alzheimer’s Association. As a result of his advocacy efforts, he has been involved with several international events, including the Rita Hayworth Gala, which has raised over $100 million for the Alzheimer’s Association and has received numerous accolades, including The Caregiver Award from the National Alzheimer’s Association.
Jay is set to hit country radio with new music in 2023. He is also friends with our good friend Kevin Dill, who was recently on Alzheimer’s Speaks Radio talking about his life, and the symptoms he deals with, living with Lewy Body Dementia.
Lyrics For The Song – “No Prayer Like Mama’s”
Writers: Jay Allen, Justin Morgan – Producer: Justin Morgan – Mixer: Micah Wilshire
Ain’t no prayer like mamas
When it’s your turn up to bat
And she knows it’s only little league
But she knows you want it bad
And when you get a little older
And you’re out a little late
She’ll bend God’s ear all night long
Til you get back home safe
XXXX
All those hallelujah amens
And cryin on her knees
Sayin grace at dinner time
And telling’ God her dreams
She’s an angel she’s a saint
I’m telling y’all there ain’t
No prayer like mama’s
XXXX
Ain’t no prayer like mamas
When it’s a prayer for the girl
That’ll make her baby happy
That’s gonna be his whole world
She’ll know the Lord was listening
Cause she can’t help but smile
When she sees that answered prayer
Walking down the aisle
XXXX
All those hallelujah amens
And cryin on her knees
Sayin grace at dinner time
And telling’ God her dreams
She’s an angel she’s a saint
I’m telling y’all there ain’t
No prayer like mama’s
XXXX
Ain’t no prayer like mamas
When she walks the streets of gold
Still praying for her babies
Kneeling at His throne
I know she’s lookin’ down
And I know she’s all healed now
Bet she’s singing out amazing grace
And oh how sweet the sound
XXXX
Of those hallelujah amens
And cryin on her knees
Sayin grace at dinner time
And telling’ God her dreams
She’s an angel she’s a saint
I’m telling y’all there ain’t
No prayer like mama’s
XXXX
Now she’s watching over us
I’m telling y’all there’s just
No prayer like mama’s
