When I'm down when my soul's in need of rest   Come your words of comfort and of hope   I see your face always smiling back at me   A stream of light shining straight to the heart      Child of God, child of light   There'll be no more lonely nights   'Cause you have brightened up my life   There's a road that leads me to this place   A path of love running straight to the heart      Over the years I've learned one important thing   It's that real friends shall never truly be apart   You were there in my darkest time of need   With a hand reaching straight to the heart      Child of God, child of light   There'll be no more lonely nights   'Cause you have brightened up my life   Take this gift, it is all I have to give   A prayer of love forever straight to the heart   A prayer of love forever straight to the heart
