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 myself 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¡H 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
