Papa, can you hear me?
God - our heavenly Father.Oh, God - and my fatherWho is also in heaven.May the lightOf this flickering candleIlluminate the night the wayYour 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 skiesI seem to see a million eyesWhich ones are yours?Where are you now that yesterdayHas waved goodbyeAnd 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 ev'rything you taught meEv'ry book I've ever read.Can all the words in all the booksHelp me to face what lies ahead?The trees are so much tallerAnd I feel so much smaller.The moon is twice as lonelyAnd the stars are half as bright.
Papa, how I love you.Papa, how I need you.Papa, how I miss youKissing me goodnight.
