Childish Prayer

As I lay me down on
This twilight  

I pray the lord let's
Me die this very night

Though I speak his name
In my long  forgotten
Childish prayer

I know of no so such
Being out there

I'll do in death that which
I couldn't do while living

I release you from your
Promise given

So Long and pray that
You might keep living
