As I lay me down to sleep Pray the lord my soul to keep A beautiful prayer always said You are off fighting a war instead I lay here a lone thinking of you Alone in a place with friends far and few Say your prayers before patrol Come back alive is your only goal As I lay me down to sleep Pray the lord my soul to keep Bring him home safe to me Let him fight for innocents to be free Back from patrol still in one piece I continue to pray for the war to cease One day soon you will come home So I donβt have to lay here a lone. As I lay me down to sleep Pray the lord my soul to keep You heard my prayer and he is home Thank you God I am not a lone
