The "E" in Blue

There’s something better after here but everybody won’t go
So I ask you to forgive them and we’ll hope they see
And I thank you for the love that they’ve given to me
I will not abuse it nor will I lead them astray
You see I love 'em like children, that I see everyday
And I pray, no, we pray together
To get us through the bad weather, and we love you forever
Let your thoughts and my heart go hand in hand
And for as long as I can, as long as you permit me
Please give me the strength I need to live, bear with me, Amen
