I pray to God my son won’t know
The hurt that life on me has bestowed
But really if he never hurts
Then he won’t learn how not to hurt
I can’t say that I wish on him
One tenth that life has brought to his old man
But God I wish and pray to you
That you lead me to teach your views
I want the best for my young son
I hope his life much better runs
I’ve been through much
I’ve seen much pain
Sometimes just living cause drain
Sometimes I wonder why go on
Sometimes I think I’m just a pawn
Sometimes I don’t know up from down
Sometimes I wish I would not drowned
Yes drown in self pity you see
I lose my faith in God you see
When I keep faith
It seems for me
Much clearer answers
I do see
So if you’re feeling down today
Just close your eyes and start to pray
Ask God to mold you into one
Who journey’s life who teaches son
Yes teaches his young son that we
Can make a happy life you see
Ask God what is it that he wants
For you to do while life you jaunt
He has a plan and if listen we
We will much better journey see
Not that we will not have bad times
Not that no bump in road we’ll find
We all must journey through this life
And if God’s with us better life
Yes better life we’ll find I’ll say
But just now answer’s not come my way
But I will pray
And I’ll keep faith
And ask for God
To help me make
A difference with my life you see
Not waste it wishing away not me
