My Prayer
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray to heaven my words to keep.
That I may realize my mistake
And my apology he’ll take
I pray at night to the stars above
That I may find untainted love
I pray to find a second chance
And from someone’s eyes a loving glance
I pray to be a better person
Though a lot of things are left uncertain
I pray at night to find a dream
To dance under the moon lit beams
I pray to know what it’s like to fly
And watch the world as it passes by
I pray to see the world turn around
So bodies never hit the ground
I pray at last to see world peace
So killings everywhere would cease
And finally I pray for you to forgive me
Even though I know, it will never be.
