Insider Info
My Prayer For You: I've had (and am having) such a wonderful and blessed life, and I pray for an even better life for my daughter.
I think all parents are like that. No matter how good we've had it, we want our children to have it even better. This song is about that hope of better.
When you raise a child, you pour yourself into them. You teach them, help them, feed and correct them, mentor them and do all that you can until the day comes when you must send them off into this great big world and see how they fare on their own. You cross your fingers, hold your breath, and you pray.
The process is akin to a bow string getting tighter and tighter until it's as tight as it can be. Then you calm your breath, take final aim, and release the arrow.
May it fly straight, true, and unhindered by the traps of this world. May our children fly higher, straighter and further than we could dream possible for them. That's my prayer...
Oh wait, what's that?
Our dog, Jack, wanted me to tell you that "My Prayer For You" is for dogs, too. Even (shudder) cats. (His words, not mine.)
Whatever you pour your heart into, may it fly straight and true. May it surpass your dreams.
Well said, Jack. :o)
My Prayer For You
Words & Music by Ron Hall - All Rights Reserved Worldwide
My heart's bow is bent back for you
My heart's aim is straight and true
My heart's string is tight
And it's time to take flight, I know
So I slowly release breath and bow
And watch you go
May you fly higher than I could ever go
And straighter than I've gone
May you fly further than the furthest
Of the dreams I dared to dream you'd go
If you get lost just go like the arrow goes
Straight and true
That's my prayer for you
My heart's light will always burn bright for you
My heart delights in knowing the good you'll do
My heart sings a song of my dreams for you
May they all come true
Every day I will sing, I will say
Every day I will pray
May you fly higher than I could ever go
And straighter than I've gone
May you fly further than the furthest
Of the dreams I dared to dream you'd go
If you get lost just go like the arrow goes
Straight and true
That's my prayer for you
Higher, straighter, further
Flying straight and true
Higher, straighter, further
I pray God will walk with you
On any path you choose
May you fly higher than I could ever go
And straighter than I've gone
May you fly further than the furthest
Of the dreams I dared to dream you'd go
When you're lost just go like the arrow goes
Straight and true
That's my prayer
That's my prayer
That's my prayer for you
