I pray

I pray to God,
not like many do
but I pray
not every day
but I pray

I am thankful
and ask
for forgiveness of sins
especially of those
of my adversaries.
I pray to know
the meaning of things
like why a mother dies
leaving her baby in sheets
or simply
what life truely means.

I pray to God,
not like many do
but I pray
not every day
but I pray

I pray for the rains and the stars and the trees
I pray for the dead, the unwise and the sick.
I pray for strength for the sad and the weak
but if those poor souls
are wishing to die
I pray God sends
Azrael quick.

I pray to God,
not like many do
but I pray
not every day
but I pray

I pray for love and
I pray for hate.
I pray for wars
to cease and
for peace to reign
in the world and in
my veins
I pray for those in hell
demons, satan, murderers and thieves
I pray for my soul, at my death
to dwell
in heaven.
I pray for those in heaven
angels, Christ, forgiven men and priests.

I pray to God for all of these

not like many do
but I pray
not every day
but I pray.
