Papa Can You Hear Me?

God – our heavenly Father

Oh, God – and my father
Who is also in heaven
May the light
Of this flickering candle
Illuminate the night the way

Your spirit illuminates my soul

Papa, can you hear me?

Papa, can you see me?
Papa, can you hear me in the night?
Papa, are you near me?

Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you help me not be frightened?
Looking at the skies
I seem to see a million eyes
Which ones are yours?
Where are you now that yesterday
Has come and gone
And closed its doors?

The night is so much darker

The wind is so much colder
The world I see is so much bigger now that I'm alone
Papa, please forgive me

Try to understand me
Papa, don't you know I had no choice?
Can you hear me praying

Anything I'm saying
Even though the night is filled with voices?
I remember everything you taught me
Every book I've ever read

Can all the words in all the books
Help me to face what lies ahead?
The trees are so much taller
And I feel so much smaller

The moon is twice as lonely
And the stars are half as bright

Papa, how I love you

Papa, how I need you

Papa, how I miss you

Kissing me goodnight
