CHe can turn the Emtides and calm the Fang-ry Csea
DmHe alone deAmcides who writes a Dmsym-pho-E7ny
FHe lights every Fmstar that makes the Cdark-ness Ambright
B7He keeps watch all Emthrough each long and Dmlone-ly G7night
CHe still finds the Amtime to hear a Dmchild's first G7prayer
DmSaint or sinner G7calls and always Cfinds him there
Ab7Though it makes him sad to see the Cway we Emlive
He'll always Dmsay  G7I for-Cgive
He can grant a Emwish or make a Fdream come Ctrue
DmHe can paint the Amclouds and turn the Dmgray to E7blue
FHe alone knows Fmwhere to find the Crainbow's Amend
BbHe alone can Emsee what lies beDmyond the G7bend
CHe can touch a Amtree and turn the Dmleaves to G7gold
DmHe knows every G7lie that you and CI have told
Ab7Though it makes him sad to see the Cway we Amlive
He'll always Dmsay  G7I for-Cgive
