Before I lay my head to rest-
I've some things left to say.
Please dear God don't bury me
Before the dawn of day.
Angels keep me safe and smile:
As I toss and turn.
Naughty dreams, stay far from me.
For God only I yearn.
Know you of my early sins;
Drugs, the touch, and all.
Bolt my feet tight to a cloud;
At night I'll never fall.
Lastly, take my pain away:
Uneasiness and stress.
Know I not religion,
But I've heard it works the best.
This I promise I will do:
Sin all day 'til ten.
Then I'll come right back to you-
This I pray. Amen.
