Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord, my soul to keep
If I make it through the night
I guess I've won another fight
Listen Lord, for now I pray
I wish to live another day
I've been bad since my beginning
I've been involved in lots of sinning
It's time I made a choice and turned toward a better road
It's time to leave my past behind
I've prayed before but was not committed
I was afraid of what I'd find
Lord, help me make it through the night
Show me how to reach the light
I only ask for one small sign
I'll give you all I have that's mine
I've found salvation in a glass
In needles and in smoke
Lord, that is just where I've been
Since the last time that we spoke
Many folks have come to me
To try show me the way
I toasted them on their way out
And continued on life's play
Now, I've had enough of all
The hurting and the pain
So, Lord, I pray to you this night
Will you listen once again?
Now I lay me down to sleep
A sinner through and through
Just let me make it through the night
Just tell me what to do
I put my faith in what I see
I don't believe in other's words
So, Lord, just help me this one time
Show you listened and you heard
