Collin Raye - A Mother & Father's Prayer Lyrics
(karen taylor-good/melissa manchester)I know youre listening as I lay me down to sleepIts not for me I ask, but my childrens souls to keepIt seems the world is going crazyAnd though I need to do my shareCould you please take them under wingWatch over them especiallyKeeping them safe from everythingThis is a mothers prayerI know youre listening in the silence of the nightThe news is blistering but I hold on to your lightAnd though theres darkness all around usBy my faith I know youre thereGive me the strength to lead the waySend me the words I need to sayUse me to guide them day to dayThis is a mothers prayerThis is a fathers prayerI know I cant do this by my selfI thank you for your helpI know youre listening so I know Im not aloneI feel you here with me as we all face down the unknownCould you return us to your gardenWhere no ones hurt and no ones scaredFree us from pride and bitternessKeep us so close we wont forgetTeach us to love as you loveThis is a mothers prayerThis is a fathers prayerTeach us to love as you loveThis is a mothers, a fathers prayer
