Prayer - Labi Siffre

When the morning light

Tries to hold you tight

You snuggle down inside

But when the day insists

There’s no use to resist

Just open up and pray

That every move you make

And every breath you take

And every word you say

Will help the ones you love

And those you don’t think of

And those who turn away

And if there is a God

And us he’s thinking of

Well, don’t forget to say

That wives and mothers cry

To see their babies die

It happens every day

So God in heaven above

What are you thinking of

Is this the way you play

Well, can’t you hear them weep

Now children mind your feet

Maybe God has gone to sleep
