I Hear You
Before I cross uncertain land
I hear Daddy say to me.
Little girl hold on to my hand
And, remember to look both ways.
If you should have any doubt
Always call out my name.
And, I will always guide you
Through the unknown and the same.
Keep laughing long into the night
I hear Daddy say to me.
Little girl wipe away your tears
And, ride through life without fears.
If you should have any doubt
Always call out my name.
And, I will always be by your side
Through the joy and the pain.
Compassionately go about your day
I hear Daddy say to me.
Little girl open your eyes
And, stay focused on the road ahead.
If you should have any doubt
Always call out my name.
And, I will always show you
It’s in the name and not the fame.
Fill your heart with the sound of music
I hear Daddy say to me.
Little girl sing your song
And, dance through life with lots of joy.
If you should have any doubt
Always call out my name.
And I will always be here with you
Dancing the songs that you've sang.
You don’t need to hold my hand
I hear Daddy saying to me.
Little girl it’s time for me to go
And, I’ve taught you everything I know.
If you should have any doubt
Just call out my name.
Remember, I will always be here with you
Through the sunshine and the rain.
