~ Father...Dad ~ Father, I want what I want And I want it today Can I have it Lord? Just cause I prayed? Father, hear my prayers Hear my words Answer me Lord Heal my hurts I need it Lord I need it today Why don't you answer? You know...I prayed I want what I want I want it today Isn't my own way best? Do you hear what I pray? You didn't answer me Lord You didn't give me my way How come Lord? I prayed! But I thank you Father You protect me from me You know the future The things that I can't see It's my wants and my way That first brought me to my knees You know what's best Lord Don't listen to me...please! I want what you want Lord Your way is always the best I give it to you in prayer And let you do the rest A good parent never lets the child Have all that he asks Knowing the troubles that can occur He says no and that's that I know you're the best parent Lord And you'll never let me have The things that will hurt me Thank you Father...Dad:-) Mary Silva May, 2003
