It’s me, saying my night prayer

and sending it urgently up to there.

A hard task is in front of me –

I can’t avoid it or let it be.

So, I need help facing tomorrow –

is there some courage I can borrow?

I need to be braver than I am

unless there is a better plan…

like could I just hide away

and totally skip the day?

Or could somebody take my place?

‘cause nobody else has this to face.

I don’t think I have it in me to succeed

Please, please, please, help me I plead

with big crocodile tears of sorrow.

Help me face my tomorrow!
