I KNOW YOU'RE LISTENING UP THERE


Written by: David Veira

Chorus
So many people, in despair
Looking for ways to, hide the fear
Father help them, to see clear
It's hard to bear, when your un aware
I know you're listening up there

1st
I know you're listening up there, taking heed to all my prayers
People hurting bad thinking that there's no one that cares
Divorce is high and women now are having affairs
Men are going nuts, even though we cheated for years
Yah I know the truth but everyone wants proof
Is it enough that infidelity is spoiling the youth
Listen to me talking to you like if you don't know
So I'm a put this in a prayer and deliver it slow
Dear God, things are real odd it's getting hard
Trying to make a decent living while escaping the rod
People lie to one another yet they still want trust
How can you do somebody wrong and not expect them to fuss
They want, cheat and not be cheated on, beat and not be beat on
Leave scorn, tear and not be torn
Me I know that anything you do wrong will reappear
Teach me to be fair, I know you're listening up there

Chorus

2nd
Down here they got crooked cops, running chop shops and selling dope
People so broke, there hanging themselves, can't cope
No hope for anything bright, it's always night
So they hold tight to sadness with all there might
And won't let go, cause the don't know you're real
So instead of asking you, rather go out and steal
I pray for them cause your word tells me to
And no matter what the issue, it propels me through
Help the kids with cancer, those with H-I-V
Right them in the book of life don't let them D-I-E
Give the parents back control over there young I plea
Make the streets safe again so they can all run free
If it's in your will, I know you must fulfill,
Everything that was written but I'm asking still
Bill it to me your son from my heart sincere
I see the fear in every tear; I know you're listening up there

Chorus

3rd
Man I'll never forget the day, that you took me in
A little wanna be thug with a Brooklyn grin
Rumors was spread cause then I was looking thin
Who would have known finding you is what it took to win
Look at me now, living me dream because of you
Sky's that were gloomy and gray are now blue
Thanks for sending Debbie cause she always knew,
What to say when I was down that's what pulled me through
Simone, Chavon and Helen every morning on the train
Showed me female friends is not a lost but a gain
Lisa and Denise weather sun or rain
Got my back when it's true love they feel your pain
So I ask you, to bless them through out there life
Cause they showed me what's the meaning of a loving wife
Let them know in me, they'll always have a friend
Love your son, in Jesus name Amen
