Verse
Down on my knees again tonight,
I'm hopin' this prayer will turn out right,
See there is a boy that needs your help,
I've done all that I can do myself,
His mother is tired,
I'm sure you can understand,
Each night as he sleeps,
She goes in to hold his hand,
And she tries, not to cry,
As the tears, fill her eyes
Chorus
Can you hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can you see him?
Can you make him feel alright?
If you can hear me,
Let me take his place somehow,
See he's not just anyone, he's my son.
Verse
Sometimes late at night I watch him sleep,
I dream of the boy he'd like to be,
I try to be strong and see him through,
But God who he needs right now is you,
Let him grow old,
Live life without this fear,
What would I be,
Living without him here?
He's so tired,
And he's scared,
Let him know,
That you are there.
Chorus
Can you hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can you see him?
Can you make him feel alright?
If you can hear me,
Let me take his place somehow,
See he's not just anyone, he's my son.
