Abba Father
by Bob Carlisle

Album: True Believer

I wake up in the morning

Just like the one before
I slurp that same old coffee
Stumble out that same old door
I don't know how it happened
But it seems like my life has just passed me by

I'm driving down the highway
And on my way downtown
I can see the happy children
Playing on the old playground
It's enough to make me wonder
What is happening to me
It's enough to make me get down on my knees crying

Father, Father, whoa
Father, Father
Help me to remember
What it's like to have the soul of a child

I read the morning paper
And there it is again
All the death and violence
What a mess this world is in
It's enough to make you holler
It's enough to make you scream
It's enough to make you fall down on your knees crying

Father, Father, whoa
Father, Father
Father up in Heaven
Won't You hold me in Your arms for a while
Father, Father, whoa
Father, Father
Help me to remember
What it's like to have the soul of a child

Like when I would run away
And you'd come after me
Take me home where it's safe and warm
Or when I'd cry at night
How you'd wipe my tears
Tell me everything is all right
That things will always be better in the morning
Morning comes, here I go again
But I just can't be happy with the way it's always been
It's enough to make you holler
It's enough to make you scream
It's enough to throw your hands up as
You fall down on your knees crying
Father up in Heaven
Don't let me be denied
If I don't lift my voice
The very rocks themselves will cry

Father, Father, whoa
Father, Father
Father up in Heaven
Won't You hold me in Your arms for a while
Father, Father, whoa
Father, Father
And help me to remember
What it's like to have the soul of a child
Father, Father
Father, Father
Help me to remember
What it's like to have the soul of a child
