Poor Man's Prayer

Looking out the window
I watch our four year old
playing in the yard
and I start to wonder
what lies ahead for him.

So innocent and young now,
he knows nothing of hate and war.
Knows nothing of poverty and hunger.
He's just an innocent child
without a single care now.

So, my dear Lord
if you happen to hear
this poor man's prayer,
Take this child by the hand
Don't let him stray.

Won't you watch over him.
He's so innocent and young now.
Won't you take him by the hand
and Don't let him stray.

So, my dear Lord.....
