作词 : Manchester, Taylor-Good Written:Karen Taylor-Good/Melissa Manchester I know youe listening as I lay me down to sleep It not for me I ask, but my children 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 prayer I know youe listening in the silence of the night The news is blistering but I hold on to your light And though there darkness all around us By my faith I know youe 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 prayer This is a father prayer I know I can do this by my self I thank you for your help I know youe listening so I know I 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 hurt and no one scared Free us from pride and bitterness Keep us so close we won forget Teach us to love as you love This is a mother prayer This is a father prayer Teach us to love as you love This is a mother, a father prayer
