When I hear the children of today   They're questioning me the way   The way that they should live   I often wonder, wonder what to do   To help them make it through   In a world that's gone astray      Open my heart to see that it's up to me   Searchin' for the answers to these problems   I'm always facing things that are tryin' me   Testing all the things that I believe      Sometimes I feel so down and no one here's around   But you, you never left me lonely   And now I see, what a true friend means   And I trust that you would always be here for me   Lord, I give you all      Open my heart to see that this lies with me   Searchin' for the answers to these problems   I'm always facing things that are tryin' me   (I'm standing right here)      Testing all the things that I believe   Now I'm here before you   So tell me what to do   (Guess I will open my heart)      My heart to you, here I am   Searching for all the answers to my problems   Lord I'm facing things, can you help me?   You're trying all that I need the things I believe   Lord, no no no no      Here I am, here I am   I'm searching for, searching for it   Lord, I need, need, need, that's tryin' me   Testing all the things that I believe      No, no, here I am   Lacking all the understand the things I can't see   I am your child, ooh, oh, oh   That're tryin' me      Can you help me, I'm lacking understanding   I'm your child no matter what they say   I'm yours every day   Protect me every day, protect me, oh, oh
