As lay here in bed I pray to the lord that my belly be fed I also ask the man upstairs Because I know he really cares There is this woman that I love so May I be with her before I go She is so beautiful body and soul It is my destiny so I have been told We will be together and grow old There are many things we must do And we will do them with each other he said this is true So I kneel and I pray That love health and happiness shall light the way
