Can I hold her Can I shield her From darkness My little girl Can I stop her tears As they fall Can we crawl Through the pain Every cry Leaves a stain On my heart Can I save her From the nightmare That haunts her While she's awake Can I stop her fears When she hurts While she dreams Through the day That this pain Will go Away Watch her with me Help her to see That life can be Your gift Help her to fight Make her world bright And give her the sight To uplift Just stay near her Show you hear her When she cries out From deep within She'll never walk alone If she's known To let You in I pray Just take Heartache Away Show You love her The way I love her Only a mother Can understand Never let her doubt Or go without The strength of Your hand She can't Move on Just stay near her Show you hear her When she cries out From deep within She'll never walk alone If she's known To let You in I pray Just take Heartache Away
