Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Dear Lord, Lord

Will You come down and help out

My brother? Oh

So please Lord

He needs You more-ore

I want You to let him know

That he's still loved (still loved)

So when Your love shines through like the light

Let him know You want him to fight (Where do I go now?)

So God bless you love, heal him with Your light

Pray another time to You

Show him to the light

Ooh, ooh, oh, hold it in Your light

Oh, hold it in Your light (yeah)

Show him Your light, oh, yeah (oh, yeah)

So when Your love shines through like the light

Let him know You want him to fight

Waiting by your side, he just needs Your love and Your light
