A CHILD'S PRAYER
(Errol Brown)

Hot Chocolate


Say a little prayer, baby, 'fore you go to sleep 
Say a little prayer and give the lord thy soul to keep 
Say a little prayer, darlin' 
For all the people in the world 
That their hearts will be happy, filled with joy 

Say a little prayer for all those who are poor 
That they'll find peace of mind and the ones they adore 
Say a little prayer, baby 
For all those who have much more 
That they'll find it in their hearts to lend a helping hand 

Nobody goes to church on Sundays anymore 
Is that why the world is fighting, filled with wars 
Nobody goes to church or thanks the lord for what they eat
Is that why half the world is starving 
Running out of necessities 
I wonder - wonder if we're doing right 

Say a little prayer, say a little prayer 
Say a little prayer, say a little prayer 
Say a little prayer, children 

So say a little prayer, baby 
For all the children just like you 
Growing like a flower in the morning dew 
Say a little prayer that they may grow to see 
The world full of love and harmony 

Mm mm mm ....
