Papa Can You Hear Me?

God Oh God May the light Illuminate the night, the way your spirit illuminates my soul Papa, can you hear me? Papa, can you see me? Papa, can you find me in the night? Papa, are you near me? Papa, can you hear me? Papa, can you help me not to be frightened? Looking at the skies, I seem to see a million eyes Which ones are yours? Where are you now that yesterday Has waved goodbye and closed its door? 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 ev'rything you taught me Ev'ry 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
