歌词
[Intro]
In the quiet of the night, under the pale moonlight,
I see my daddy, once strong, now losing his fight.
[Verse 1]
His world's been shattered, his spirit's been torn,
He's lost in the storm, feeling so forlorn.
His dreams are broken, his heart is too,
In his eyes, I see a pain that's all too true.
[Pre-Chorus]
But as I watch him, through my war torn eyes,
Despite his empty bottles, I see a man who tries.
[Chorus]
**I say a little prayer for you**, as the stars shine bright,
May you find your strength, in the darkest night.
You're not alone, Papa, though you may feel so,
In your heart, please let my love grow.
[Verse 2]
His red eyes flares, a bitter flame,
In my eyes, he sees **Her**, and it's not the same.
But beneath the anger, beneath the pain,
Is a man who loves me, and can love again.
[Verse 3; Mezzo forte]
Remember the laughter, the games we would play?
Your calloused hands catching me, chasing the day.
Now those hands tremble, your laughter's a ghost,
A memory fading, at what terrible cost?
[Chorus; Forte]
**I say a little prayer for you**, as the dawn breaks anew,
May you find your purpose, may you find your truth.
You're not alone, Daddy, in this fight,
Together, we'll step into the light.
[Flute]
[Verse 4:fast paced]
My words don't come out, are screaming to say,
Like "Thank you for everything," in my own childish way.
The words choke in my throat, a knot I can't undo,
Is it too late, Papa, to finally break through?
[Chorus: Forte]
The world feels so heavy, the weight on my chest,
But your love is the anchor, that puts my soul to rest.
Though the future's uncertain, a path hard to see,
I'll say a little prayer for you, and for you, for me.
[sad guitar]
[Bridge][Forte]
You've always carried me on your shoulders,
You've always been my dashing knight
No matter how faint, there's a glimmer of hope,
No matter however distant, there is still, a light,
Beyond the misty haze,
There's still a future where we can,
Make everything right. (we make everything shine bright)
[Outro]
You are my hero Papa, all battles you've won,
Please be with me on my journey, it's only just begun.
I say a little prayer for you, before the light fades away
Please stay for me papa, please stay (please stay)
