Verse I 
G5            F5              C5 
   Down on my knees again to-night 
G5             F5                    C5 
   Hoping this prayer will turn out right 
G5                F5                   C5 
   See there is a boy that needs your help 
G5                    F5           C5 
   I've done all that I can do my-self 
F5                Bb5      F5                   C5  C5 
   His mother is tired      I?m sure you can under-stand 
F5                   Bb5      F5                 C5     C5 
   each night as he sleeps     she goes in to hold his hand 
        F5  Bb5          F5  Bb5        F5  Bb5           C5  C5 
and she tries   not to cry   as the tears  fill her eyes 
        F5       Bb5      F5                  C5 
Can you hear me    am I getting through to-night? 
        F5       Bb5         F5                C5 
Can you see him    can you make him feel al-right? 
           F5       Bb5       F5                   C5 
If you can hear me   let me take his place some-how 
         G5       A5   Bb5   C5       F5 
See he?s not just any- one, he?s my son  

 Verse II 
G5                   F5                 C5 
   Sometimes late at night I watch him sleep 
G5                F5                C5 
   I dream of the boy he?d like to be 
G5             F5                  C5 
   I try to be strong and see him through 
G5                F5                  C5 
   But God who he needs right now is you 
F5               Bb5   F5                 C5     C5 
   Let him grow old     live life with-out this fear 
F5               Bb5  F5              C5    C5 
   What would I be     living with-out him here 
        F5  Bb5            F5  Bb5            F5  Bb5              C5 C5 
He?s so tired   and he?s scared   let him know   that You?re there

        F5       Bb5         F5       Bb5              F5         Bb5 
Can you hear me    can you see him    please don?t leave him     
        F5 
He?s my son
