Say Your Prayers
by Michael Roe

Album: Say Your Prayers

Say your prayers, day and night,
Morning sun, candle light,
Midnight moon, star shine bright,
Say your prayers, make things right.

"Say your prayers," mama said, "by the side of your bed,"
"Darling, dream sweetly, son"
Now I lay me, safe and warm.

Say them loud, psalm them, sing,
Whisper soft, bell them ring,
Then go off, do your thing,
Don't forget the blessing spring.

Vespers in the eventide,
Praises by the fireside,
Petitions and your favourite songs,
Anointing oils, healing balms.

Suck an egg, crack a beer,
Say them softly in his ear,
Say them clothed, say them bare,
Say them in your underwear.

Sister, brother, father, mother,
This one's for my other brother,
Say them loud, say them strong,
All your days and your whole life long.
