Driving passed a military unit preparing to deploy, all I could do at the moment was pray for them... and for all people. This song depicts what I saw and felt during those fleeting moments.

I am a singer/songwriter. At present, my band consists of me and my guitar.
I am a singer/songwriter. I have been singing and playing the guitar as long as I can remember. I write about love, life and anything else thats sent my way. If even for a moment, I can make you laugh, cry, reflect, remember or just forget the troubles of your day, then I have succeeded as a songwriter.

Story behind the song
One morning I found myself through the confusion of a military unit preparing to be deployed... I wrote this song.. my prayer as I drove past...suddenly feeling helpless & afraid it was all I could do at the moment.
Lyrics
My Simple Prayer ©2005Joanne Lurgio/ BMI Home of the brave, Land of the free In the face of war’s uncertainties In defense of our security, our soldier’s rise up to their call I see fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers Husbands, wives, sons & daughters Friends & neighbors, even strangers, gather now to stand as one They line the streets on either side Hands on their hearts, flags waving high Some people cry with fearful pride, as the convey slowly rolls on by I look up to heaven, praying to my God above Protect them from the dangers with your shield of love Hold all of your children in the palm of your hand And lead us onward safely ‘til there’s peace throughout your lands I am one of a million; I stand helpless struck with fear I give all my heart can offer when I sing my simple prayer I look up to heaven, praying to my God above Protect them from the dangers with your shield of love Hold all of your children in the palm of your hand And lead us onward safely ‘til there’s peace throughout your lands Oh, lead us onward safely ‘til there’s peace throughout your lands
