The Prayer
When I was young like her
I'd fold my hands and pray
For you to keep me safe
And guide me through each day
I grew and fell in love
You blessed me with a child
I felt you in my life
Then everything changed in the blink of an eye
Now all I want is to know, Lord
Did you plan this all along
Tell me, did I do something wrong
You said you'd love and protect me
Now I feel betrayed and lost
So tell me, did I do something wrong
I want to know that she'll grow up happy
I need to feel I can keep her safe
I need your strength so I don't give up
or give in to all this rage
But she's sleeping here on the cold street
So fragile and so young
Tell me, what did I do wrong
Show me now that you're listening
And you won't let this go on
And tell me, what did I do wrong
I only have one purpose
To keep her safe and warm
To fill her heart with joy
And guide her through this storm
I will go on living
I will fight the fight
I will pledge with my last breath
To keep her safe each night
Lord, I don't know if you're listening
Or I'm out here on my own
But somehow, I know I must go on
I'm lost, I'm tired and I'm hungry
And the path, it looks so long
She needs me, I have to carry on
I'll learn how to be strong
I know I must be strong
I'd fold my hands and pray
For you to keep me safe
And guide me through each day
I grew and fell in love
You blessed me with a child
I felt you in my life
Then everything changed in the blink of an eye
Now all I want is to know, Lord
Did you plan this all along
Tell me, did I do something wrong
You said you'd love and protect me
Now I feel betrayed and lost
So tell me, did I do something wrong
I want to know that she'll grow up happy
I need to feel I can keep her safe
I need your strength so I don't give up
or give in to all this rage
But she's sleeping here on the cold street
So fragile and so young
Tell me, what did I do wrong
Show me now that you're listening
And you won't let this go on
And tell me, what did I do wrong
I only have one purpose
To keep her safe and warm
To fill her heart with joy
And guide her through this storm
I will go on living
I will fight the fight
I will pledge with my last breath
To keep her safe each night
Lord, I don't know if you're listening
Or I'm out here on my own
But somehow, I know I must go on
I'm lost, I'm tired and I'm hungry
And the path, it looks so long
She needs me, I have to carry on
I'll learn how to be strong
I know I must be strong
