Lyrics

A Child's Prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep,
Lord I pray my sole to keep.
If I die before I wake,
Lord I pray my sole to take.
Oh lord, if your still there?
Please bless the children everywhere.
Let them be happy and not sad,
And oh yes, please bless Mom and Dad.

Now I lay me down to bed,
A thousand things stuck in my head.
Things I know that I should have done,
Things to help everyone.
Oh lord, if your still there?
Please bless the children everywhere.
Let them be happy and not sad,
And oh yes, please bless Mom and Dad.

Now I lay me down to sleep.
Lord I pray my sole to keep.
If I die before I wake.
Lord I pray my sole to take.
Oh lord, please here my prayers.
Because Lord I know that you're still there!
Please be happy and not sad,
And please lord bless my Mom and Dad.
