Jackie was 11 years old when she recorded this song. Amazing. An operatic voice at that age. The song was written by her uncle Matthew Evancho. Beatiful, poignant, inspiring song.
"Before I lay me down to rest I ask the lord one small request. I know I have all i could need. But this pray is not for me. Too many people in this day don't have a peacefull day to stay. Let all fighting cease that your children may see peace. Wipe their tears of sorrow away. To believ one a day when hunger and war will pass away, to have a hope amidst despair. That you hear their cries and listen to each prayer. Let be try always to believe. that we can heal the hearts that grieve. Please help us not ignore the anquished cries of the poor or their pain will never leave..."
