If I Should Die Before I Wake

If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
I pray for forgiveness for the wrong I've done
I pray for my grandsons that a world change will come
I pray that the races can find some peace and harmony
I pray for tolerance and unity
I pray that government officials will stop working for special interest groups
I pray for the safety of our youth
I pray they find a cure for aids - without it we won't see better days
I pray for the homeless and the poor - that this country will start to do more
I pray that people learn the simplicity of life - instead of the constant
turmoil and strife
I pray the beast called Racism is slain
I pray that trust and freedom will come to reign

An even if none of this is meant for my eyes in this lifetime to see
I pray it will still come to be

This may all sound idealistic but when it's all said and done
I pray for a world when we can all stand as one...

If I should die before I wake
