Oh 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 find 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 waved goodbye
And closed it's 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.
