A day ago in your time
I looked down on the beautiful chaos
For a childs song has reached my ears
What a beautiful song it was

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take

That was not what caught my attention
The child did not feel like that simple prayer was enough so he began his song

Please forgive me for all my sins
I lied to my mom
I stole from the grocery store
I did so much more
Do you really forgive
I hope so
Cause I want everyone to go to heaven
I haven't seen anyone that hasn't sined
Hell doesn't sound like a great place
Can you help me and my family
Guide us to heaven
Help my friends
Help all of us
Stop the fighting I hate it
I just want everyone to be happy
Thank you for listening
Amen

And so I placed the signs
gave the chances
Showed the way
A little extra for the child
That's all I can do
So I wrote this letter to you child just for when the times get hard
to say Im here and I love you
