Frosty Prayer



He said he was a believer
But he lied within his prayers
Just as the night can never be the day

The reflection in the mirror
Showed the lines upon his face
Stale coffee sitting from the other day


Sing
Sing a lullaby
Tie those words
And make sure there secure
Sing your words from a coffee cup
Don’t let them get cold so drink them up
And they will get to heaven I am sure


His words rose up like vapor
And the breeze took them away
To the distance place of paradise lost

The winter seeking birds took flight
And brought them back again
And he watched his prayers as they turned into frost


Sing
Sing a lullaby
Tie those words
And make sure there secure
Sing your words from a coffee cup
Don’t let them get cold so drink them up
And they will get to heaven I am sure


Then God looked down on him one day
And said ‘count your blessings’ — and so he did
Then placed them all within an empty sack

But the frost still never melted
And the heart he had got dusty
So he shrugged his shoulders and then he turned his back


Sing
Sing a lullaby
Tie those words
And make sure there secure
Sing your words from a coffee cup
Don’t let them get cold so drink them up
And they will get to heaven I am sure
