A Mother and Father’s Prayer

[Verse 1: 𝘓𝘪𝘻 𝘓𝘢𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘯]
I know your listening
As I lay me down to sleep
It’s not for me I ask
But my children souls to keep
It seems the world is going crazy
And though I need to do my share
Could you please take them underwing
Watch over them especially
Keeping them safe from everything
This is a mother’s prayer

[Verse 2: Sal Viviano]
I know your listening
In the silence of this night
The news is blistering
But I hold to your light
And though there’s darkness all around us
By my faith I know you’re there
Give me the strength to lead the way
Send me the words I need to say
Use me to guide them
Day-by-day
This is a father’s prayer

I know I can’t do this by myself
I thank you for your help

[Verse 3: Sal Viviano & 𝘓𝘪𝘻 𝘓𝘢𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘯
I know you’re listening
So I know I’m not alone
I feel you here with me
As we all face the unknown
Could you return us to your garden
Where no one’s hurts
And no one’s scared
Free us from pride and bitterness
Keep us so close we won’t forget
Teach us to love as you love

[Refrain]
This is a mother’s prayer
This is a father’s prayer

Teach us to love as you love
This is a mother’s prayer (father’s prayer)
