I want to believe
I have something more to offer
I donâÂÂt want to grieve
When the harvest has been weighed
When itâÂÂs time to leave
DonâÂÂt want to overstay my welcome
And I want to sleep
In the bed that I have made
When they lay me down
And put a marker on that ground
Let some good things grow around me there
ThatâÂÂs my working prayer
I want to look back
And still keep on moving forward
Whatever I lack
I want to make up for somehow
And when I get off track
I want to find a way back on it
I want to be smack
In the middle of here and now
When they lay me down
And put a marker on that ground
Let some good things grow around me there
ThatâÂÂs my working prayer
I want to make a case
For all of my uncounted blessings
A little extra grace
For my friends and family
Tell it to my face
Anything that I need telling
I want to leave a better place
Than the one first given me
When they lay me down
And put a marker on that ground
Let some good things grow around me there
ThatâÂÂs my working prayer
