I'm down on my knees again tonight I'm hoping
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 up her
eyes
Chorus~ Can you hear me? Am I
getting through tonight? Can you see
him? Can you make him feel all right? If
you can hear me Let me take his place
somehow See he's not just anyone He's my
son
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're
there
Chorus
Can you hear me? Am
I getting through tonight? Can you see
him? Can you make him feel all right? If
you can hear me Let me take his place
somehow See he's not just anyone He's my
son
Can you hear me? Can you see
him? Please don't leave him He's my son
