A Mother and Father's Prayer (Album Version)

歌詞

I know you're listening as I lay me down to sleep It's not for me I ask, but my children's souls to keep It seems the world is going crazy And though I need to do my share Could you please take them under wing Watch over them especially Keeping them safe from everything This is a mother's prayer I know you're listening in the silence of the night The news is blistering but I hold on to your light And though there's darkness all around us By my faith I know you're there Give me the strength to lead the way Send me the words I need to say Use me to guide them day to day This is a mother's prayer This is a father's prayer I know I can't do this by my self I thank you for your help I know you're listening so I know I'm not alone I feel you here with me as we all face down the unknown Could you return us to your garden Where no one's hurt and no one's scared Free us from pride and bitterness Keep us so close we won't forget Teach us to love as you love This is a mother's prayer This is a father's prayer Teach us to love as you love This is a mother's, a father's prayer
