as i laid my head down to sleep
I prayed the lord, these thoughts do keep,
take the burden and let me be,
close my eyes peacefully,

let things work, how you want,
and remind me to never flaunt,
those things that I dont want to be,
those things that mean nothing to me,

the money, cars, house and strife,
just isn't what i want in life,
i want simplicity, in the truest kind,
i want you to direct my mind,

and as the time continues on,
with friends and foes, that now are gone,
i ask for more, in this time of less,
help me give you something,
that you can finally bless.
