Now I lay myself down to sleep
The lord I pray my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
Then I will know I will not break
Will you be there when I get back
For I know you will cut me no slack
Dare I ask what you will do
If I come back all askew
You have no right to tell me why I should stay
But I know you will keep me at bay
Now I lay myself down to sleep
Do I know what I want to keep
What should I do when I wake
Should I ask for a wooden stake
Because it wouldn't take much
To do a task as such
The lord I pray my soul to keep
When I lay myself down to sleep
