When i was a kid 

That’s what we did 

kids on merry go round

We went to the playground 

To ride the merry go round 

We didn’t have to go to the other side of town 

But now its difficult for one to be 

Found 

kids with praying hands on the playground on their knees

Now we need a pray ground you see 

Where we can all take a knee 

kids hold hands with heads bowed

We need a place to unite in prayer 

Knowing that God will meet us there 

kids raising hands up toward heaven/sky

We need a space 

We need a place 

To fall on our face 

To slow down our pace 

To realize grace 

To feel the Spirit’s embrace

As I look around 

I see an urgent need 

For a Prayground 

We Need a Prayground 

The children are playing 

The schools are decaying 

The naysayers are saying 

The crime aint playing 

We need a ground to pray 

For these kids every day 

A place to rejoice and relax 

To unwind from life’s tax 

We need a ground to play 

We need a ground to stay 

We need a ground today 

We need a ground this way 

We need a Prayground  

A place for a child to be a child 

Although they are children all the while 

A place to be at ease 

Not jumping at every move and sneeze 

A place to socialize 

And enjoy the big blue skies 

A place to for children to thrive 

And a source of hope to stay alive 

We Need a Prayground
