[Instrumental Intro] [Instrumental Intro] [Female Vocals] Oh Father Are you really there? Can you hear my prayer? I’ve been struggling, standing, kneeling Looking for you everywhere. [Man Vocals] My Child, Long before your birth I have known your worth. I would never leave a precious one Like you alone on Earth. [Female Vocals] I am not Where I’d like to be. With you next to me. Won’t you open up my heart, pour in The love you promised me? [Male Vocals] You might not see me But if your heart is clear You will feel me here Will you open up the space for me Allow me to come near? [Male and Female Chorus] I am waiting here for you I have been here all along. What would you have me do? When will you allow me to be what I can be? Open up so that I can be set free? [Instrumental Intro] [FemaleVocals] Oh Father Where are you now? I so humbly bow And ask thee how to do thy will I don’t know how! [Male Vocals] When will you hear me? I am so close to you When will you let me through? The subtle words within your heart Will tell you what to do! [Female Vocals] Please Father Will you come to me?
