Oh God
 May the light
 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 ev'rything you taught me
 Ev'ry 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
