lyrics

NATALIE:
People staring
Judging smiles
Whispers behind hands
People speaking
All about me
As if I weren't there
People wondering if he loved me
Or if he cared

But you would listen so intently
To every lullaby
You would watch as the waterfalls
Came pouring from my eyes
You would hold my pointer finger
With your tiny little hands
You would lift me to my feet
Before you could even stand

ABNER:
All those years
I forced your silence
I didn’t understand
People speaking
All around you
As if you weren’t there
If you're wondering if I’d listen
Let me show you I care

NATALIE/ABNER:
I will listen so intently
To every laugh or cry
I'll be there for whomever
You walk down the aisle
I will hold you in my arms
As long as you allow
Let me show you
That I love you
Right here and now

If you need someone to listen

FARID/MATT:
If I need someone to listen

NATALIE/ABNER:
To what you have to say

FARID/MATT:
To what I have to say?

NATALIE/ABNER:
I'll be that someone to listen

FARID/MATT:
You’ll be that someone to listen?

NATALIE/ABNER:
And I will always stay

FARID/MATT:
Would you always stay?

NATALIE/ABNER:
If you need someone to hear you

FARID/MATT:
If I need someone to hear me

NATALIE/ABNER:
I have open ears

FARID/MATT:
I have open ears

NATALIE/ABNER:
If you need someone to love you

FARID/MATT:
If I need someone to love me?

NATALIE/ABNER:
I am right here

ABNER:
My name means “Father of light”
And I -
I don’t want you to ever feel
Like you have to hide your light
From me
Or from anyone

NATALIE/ABNER:
I will listen so intently
To every laugh or cry
I’ll be there when the waterfalls
Come pouring from your eyes
I will hold you in my arms
As long as I can
I will lift you to your feet
When you don’t
Have the strength to stand

NATALIE:
As long as God liveth
You are my child

ABNER:
As you are
I love you
You are divine

NATALIE/ABNER:
You are my child
