I look up to the heavens as I kneel before you now To ask you for a favour I pray you'll grant to me somehow I know you're very busy So I'll only take a minute I'm not asking for gold or silver But 'bout the war and people in it You know I don't want to sound selfish But I have a few wishes, Lord Please guide us through these violent times Over which death and blood have poured I thank all the people who have sacrificed their lives So far away from home Now my family and I will long survive Though some still sit alone Guide the others far and near, please listen to my plea Help us to bring peace and freedom here And help us just to "be" ©2003 Priscilla Klassen
