I prayed last night

Knelt in front of my bed

And clasped my hands by my chest

Closed my eyes and drew all

Of my will power to invest

In the words I would speak

I prayed for all sorts of things

I prayed to forever have that which I cherish

I prayed to be granted my greatest wish

I prayed for strength to exist

And I prayed that my loved one's would forever be nourished

I prayed for the hungry children who crowd our streets

Without a place to go or a bed to sleep

I prayed for the alcoholic man who can't think

When he's had had drink after drink after drink

I prayed for every scared person who feels alone

And believes that they can't make anymore on their own

I prayed for the broken-hearted girl

Who's lost faith in finding love in this world

I prayed for love

I prated for joy

I prayed for innocent little girls and boys

I prayed for good to come

And bad to go

I prayed for strength to withstand

That which is hurting me so

i prayed to conquer fear

And to never be afraid to try

I prayed for wisdom to know

That it's okay to cry.

I prayed for hope

I prayed for hope.

I prayed for fath to believe that my prayer would be heard

And I prayed that those who read this believe every word.
