Papa and Prayer

[Intro] Whispers in the dark, a steady breath begins [Verse 1] I bend my heart to You, O God, in shadow I inquire Guide my steps when night is heavy, pull me from the fire Protect my days with patient light, be shield and guide In trouble I lean on faith, You are near, You are wide [Chorus] Papa, zala nangai, mon père, hear my plea I send my prayers to the world, let mercy come to me Papa, zala nangai, mon père, stay by my side Faith travels far on quiet wings, Ride with me through the night [Verse 2] The world speaks loud of war and wound, yet I stand tall If others sing my praise or doubt, I answer with Your call I long for fatherly hands to bless, to steady my pace To hold the line of courage when fear tries to erase [Chorus] Papa, zala nangai, mon père, hear my plea I send my prayers to the world, let mercy come to me Papa, zala nangai, mon père, stay by my side Faith travels far on quiet wings, Ride with me through the night [Bridge] Your echo crosses oceans, Your love surrounds my name No distance blocks Your listening ear, no doubt can tame the flame If I falter, You lift me up, if I fall, You call me by The Father’s voice replies in dawn, a soft and guiding sky [Chorus] Papa, zala nangai, mon père, hear my plea I send my prayers to the world, let mercy come to me Papa, zala nangai, mon père, stay by my side Faith travels far on quiet wings, Ride with me through the night [Outro] Till morning comes and teaches me to see again I whisper, You are Father, You are guide, You are friend
