A Childs Prayer for America
Yolanda Cohen
Dear God,
have you got a minute or two?
Will you listen to my prayer?
Things on earth are really bad
And I gotta' talk to you
Are you awake in the middle of the night
and can you spare the time,
to talk about the war and stuff?
Mom and Dad say, 'it's all just fine.'
But I slipped and watched the news
and you wouldn't believe what I heard
They said we might get bombed, you know
I listened to every word
No I can't fall asleep tonight
Please send an angel or two
to watch over me and keep me safe
And I sure will thank you.
Did you see the flames and smoke
when the towers came falling down?
That was really awful God
All those people ain't been found
You think they might come back again
do something worse next time?
Why don't You go get'em God?
Please answer this prayer of mine
I'll stop cryin' now Dear God
And I won't make a peep
Just keep the Angels close to me
While I fall fast asleep
Amen
