Oh Lord Cant You Hear

My wife and I were sittin' by the window

Watchin' the children at play

She looked at me with tears in her eyes

Have you heard what the neighbors all say...

That little boy over there is name is Jim

He spends his nights alone

He prays at bedtime all for the good times

Please God can't you send my daddy home...

d (chorus) Ja

Oh Lord can't you hear what their saying

It's the children not the parents who's payin' le not askin' much, cant you grant just a touch Of the prayers the children are prayin'

Now that little girl Susie she lives next door

At night she cries herself to sleep

Her mom is into night life, wont be home tonight

So alone she silently weeps...

d (chorus) J

Oh Lord can't you hear what their sayin' It's the children not the parents who's payin' e not askin' much, can't you grant just a touch Of the prayers the children are prayin'

Of the prayers the children are prayin'
