Daddy, Are You There?

I can still remember back when I was a little boy I'd lie alone on a stormy night and try to go to sleep But the darkness seemed so deafening that every little noise Would scare my little heart to death and I would hide beneath my sheets I could never let them know I'm scared Still I need to know that someone's there Daddy are you there? I need a drink of water I would cry out in the nighttime when the light I could not see Daddy are you there? I need a drink of water And just to hear your voice sets my mind at ease And I will be ok as long as you are there Now that I am older I've moved away from home And me and my dear wife are starting a family of my own I've become the strong one, the one who shows no fear And I don't cry out at night but still I need someone to hear Cause I could never let them know I'm scared Still I need to know that someone's there And my Father my Creator is the one And he made the way when he gave his only Son Daddy are you there? I need a drink of water I would cry out in the nighttime when the light I could not see Daddy are you there? I need a drink of water And just to hear your voice sets my mind at ease And I will be ok as long as you are there Whoa whoa whoa La la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la
