Papa, Can You Hear Me - Live

(I'm going to light this candle, memory of all those wise and good men, whose lives were senselessly, violently snuffed out of before their time, Lincoln, Gandhi, Martin Luther king, John F Kennedy, Ambo Sadat, Men of piece and vision, Voices the world so deceitfully needs now, father, father figures, I think we all lost someone whose gaudiness and wisdom we miss in times of fury and confusion and this is for them:)
 May the light
 Of this flickering candle
 Illuminate the night the way
 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 frightend?
 Looking at the skies
 I seem to see a million eyes
 Which ones are yours?
 Where are you now that yersterday
 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 everything you thought me, Every 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?
