My Little Prayer

IT'S NOW AGAIN THE MORNING
AND MY PRAYERS ARE BEING SAID
IT'S BETTER 'CAUSE I'M WIDE AWAKE
NOT HALF ASLEEP IN BED

MY PRAYERS ARE LONG, THEY MUST INCLUDE
EVERY HURT AND STRIFE
THAT FRIENDS AND FAMILY CARRY
DOWN THIS ROAD WE ALL CALL LIFE

AFTER THANKS AND ADORATION
AND CONFESSING ALL MY SINS
AND ASKING GOD'S FORGIVENESS
FOR ALL THAT I HAVE BEEN

I SAY A SPECIAL LITTLE PRAYER
TO HIM WHO'LL ALWAYS BE
SO CLOSE A FRIEND I'LL EVER WANT
MY WEAKNESS HE WILL SEE

"WRAP TIGHT YOUR ARMS AROUND ME LORD
ALL DAY IF YOU PLEASE"
AND IF I MUST CRY OUT TODAY
I'LL NEED ONLY TO SAY "SQUEEZE"

ME

I LIVE ON THE SURFACE OF THIS WORLD
NOT KNOWING TOO MUCH ABOUT ANY ONE THING
YET KNOWING ENOUGH TO MUDDLE THRU
THE PAIN AND THE GAIN OF THE WONDERS
THIS PLACE HAS TO OFFER.
YOU MAY CHOOSE TO TAKE THE HIGH ROAD
AND BLAST THRU EVENTS AND TIME
SPINNING AND DAZED AT EVERY TWIST AND TURN
ONLY LOOKING BACK AT A TRACE
OF WHAT YOU LEFT BEHIND.
I HANG AND I HOVER, NOT BY CHOICE, BUT FROM FEAR
FEAR OF WHAT MIGHT LIE AHEAD FOR ME
IF A WRONG TURN SPINS ME OUT OF CONTROL
AND LANDS ME IN A COMMON
YET UNFAMILAR PLACE.
WE STRIVE TO FIND A PLACE TO FIT, OFTEN CHOOSING WITHOUT THINKING
OUR MINDS ARE LOST TO FEELINGS
AND FEELINGS MAY PLAY HAVOC IN A WORLD
WHERE WE TRULY ONLY HOPE TO FIND
COMFORT AND A SENSE OF BELONGING.
