Kurt Bestor - Prayer Of The Children lyrics

rate me

Can you hear the prayer of the children? On Bended knee,

In the shadow of an unknown room. Empty eyes with no tears to cry

turning heavenward toward the light,

Crying Jesus help me to see the morning light of one more day

but if I should die before I wake, I pray my soul to take.

Can you feel the hearts of the children

aching for home for something of their very own

Reaching hands with nothing to hold on to,

but hope for a better day a better day.

Crying Jesus help me to feel the love again in my own land.

but if unknown roads lead away from home

give me loving arms away from harm.

Can you hear the voice of the children?

Softly pleading for the silence in their shattered world,

angry guns preach the gospel full of hate

blood of the innocent on their hands.

Crying Jesus help me to feel the sun again upon my face

for when darkness clears I know your near bringing peace again

Can you hear the prayer of the children.
