Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Who is the you that no one else can see
In your heart the lonely one afraid to be
Lost again...need a friend
You hide your soul
To keep the hurt inside
All alone your tears call out into the night
Is He there...does He care
[Chorus]
Yes, I know your name
Every prayer you pray
I'm the one who brought you to this place
The voice who sings to you
The hand that clings to you
Oh my child, I've always known your name
Known your name
I hold you close to me, close to heart
And this kind of love will find you
Anywhere you are.
Never fear, I am here
[Repeat Chorus]
