Papa can you hear me

God 
Oh God 
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 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 books and all the words 
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 good night...
