On your knees you are taller than trees you can look over heartaches and fears

When my faith is gone to my knees I will go growing stronger and taller than trees

(One night it was a long time ago now I knelt at my mother's knee

For I weary I was heartsick I was  blue

She said son lifft up your eyes to him to him up in the skies

And you'll grow oh yes son you'll grow tall and strong like the mighty oaks)

And this was the answer I felt as down at her knees I knelt

(Down on your knees you can go taller than trees

And my boy you can look over all your heartaches

And son you can look over all your fears)

When my faith is gone to my knees I will go growing stronger and taller than trees
