WHEN YOU KNEEL AT NIGHT TO PRAY AND YOU TELL ME ABOUT YOUR DAY I SMILE BECAUSE YOU KNOW I'M THERE
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I HEAR YOU TOO
I HEARD WHEN YOU SKINNED YOUR KNEE
AND WHEN YOU FELL FROM ATOP THE TREE
I FELT THE PAIN JUST AS YOU DO
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I HEAR YOU TOO
MY CHILD YOU HAVE THE FAITH THAT OPENS
HEAVENS PEARLY GATE
WHEN IT'S TIME TO COME BACK HOME AGAIN
YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO WAIT
WHEN YOU ARE GROWN UP
AND WANT TO SEE ME
JUST LOOK INSIDE YOU
FOR THE CHILD THAT IS THERE
GROWING UP CAN BE SO HARD
ESPECIALLY OUTSIDE YOUR YARD
YOUR ANGELS ARE PROTECTING YOU
I WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT I HEAR YOU TOO
REMEMBER WHEN YOU SAID TO ME
AS YOU WERE ON YOUR BENDED KNEE
THAT WE ARE FRIENDS UNTIL THE END
DON'T FORGET THAT I HEAR YOU TOO
MY CHILD YOU HAVE THE FAITH THAT OPENS
HEAVENS PEARLY GATE
WHEN IT'S TIME TO COME BACK HOME AGAIN
YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO WAIT
WHEN YOU ARE GROWN UP
AND WANT TO SEE ME
JUST LOOK INSIDE YOU
FOR THE CHILD THAT IS THERE
WHEN YOU KNEEL AT NIGHT TO PRAY
AND YOU TELL ME ABOUT YOUR DAY
I SMILE BECAUSE YOU KNOW I'M THERE
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I HEAR YOU TOO
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I HEAR YOU TOO
