PRAYER
Oh God-our heavenIy Father.
Oh, God-and my father
Who is aIso in heaven.
May the Iight of this
FIickering candIe
IIIuminate the night the way
Your spirit iIIuminates my souI.
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 heIp me not be frightened?
Looking at the skies I seem to see
A miIIion eyes which ones are yours?
Where are you now that yesterday
Has waved goodbye
And cIosed its doors?
The night is so much darker;
The wind is so much coIder;
The worId I see is so much bigger
Now that I ’m aIone.
Papa, pIease 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 fiIIed with voices?
I remember everything you taught me
Every book 1 ’ve ever read…
Can aII the words in aII the books
HeIp me to face what Iies ahead?
The trees are so much taIIer
And I feeI so much smaIIer;
The moon is twice as IoneIy
And the stars are haIf as bright…
Papa, how I Iove you…
Papa, how I need you.
Papa, how I miss you
Kissing me good night..
