Safely Fall Asleep
Safely Fall Asleep
America I am so glad has been
With me through thick and then
Sandy shore was weather beaten
Bright morning me was greeting.
Mountains with snow peak to peak
And her great beauty always seek
While it was waiting there for me
No better place can possibly be.
With my home have been blessed
And each river's arm me caressed
Which was either silently in solitude
Or by whole being valiantly viewed.
Both my parents for me always care
See lovely flowers bloom everywhere
And green pastures as they do grow
Fireflies at that will glow and glow.
All my prayers to God I have said
Several more verses in Bible read
Help those who will cry and weep
Watch over me as I fall asleep.
