Rob Schackne #1028 - A Modern Prayer/Time Will Tell

A Modern Prayer/Time Will Tell


Now I lay me down to sleep

car packed check gutters check 
branches and debris cleared check 
hoses ready check children OK check 
animals inside check food check

I pray the Lord my soul to keep

it's hard when the elected so-called 
leaders of the country haven’t got 
sense enough to see the world 
how it really is the silly bastards

And if I should die before I wake

don’t plan on it someone has to stay 
open-eyed fires only ten kilometers away 
the wind’s dropped now but who’s 
to know what will happen

I pray the Lord my soul to take

everything else clean it all up 
and dress us in white see if there's 
enough souls to go round and if it 
comes to that we’ll find out soon enough

God bless mummy & daddy & little sister

farmers their farms the children and 
the critters domesticated and wild 
and only time will tell keep us from hell 
may the bush may all fare well
