Origins: A Mother's Prayer

From: GUEST,ronaeckert@hotmail.com

I am trying to find out who wrote this song and what inspired it any help would be appreciated.

It is called a Mother's Prayer.

Let the wind blow, let the rain come down
I am free from harm
And I watch as the clouds rush by
With my baby asleep in my arms
And I feel tied to every mother that I see
I can't watch the war report on T.V.
And it I had all the money in this world
I'd buy every gun and throw it in the sea
Into the sea

CHORUS
Let the wind blow, let the rain come down
May we all be free from harm
Free to watch as the clouds rush by
With our babies asleep in our arms

And I feel tied to every mother
Who has hunger in her eyes
Who must comfort when there's not enough to eat
Tell me where does the plenty go
And tell me what in the world is more
Important than these

And I don't want to hear about religions and boundaries
I don't want to hear about the ones who hoard their gold
I don't want to hear about the might and the majesty
Do the ones who make this madness
Have no babies to hold

Let the wind blow, let the rain come down
May we all be free from harm
Free to watch as the clouds rush by
With our babies asleep in our arms
dow

Connie Kaldor wrote it, and the lyrics are at her web site. It's on her 1994 album "Out of the Blue."

You can listen to the entire mp3 file at that web page.

Beautiful lyrics. The mp3 was not clickable, though. I would love to hear it.

Click the target-looking thing at the top right-hand corner of the link Jim provided. That works, The thing that says mp3 at the bottom of the page doesn't work. FYI.
