Radney Foster - I Know You Can Hear Me lyrics

rate me

I don't remember what it was

But like every kid I screwed up

Probably gave some lip, probably threw a fit

Pushed him 'till he'd had enough

I ran into the closet, figured I was hiding from a whippin'

But standing by the door that day

All daddy did was say

I know you can hear me

You don't have to say a thing

My love is stronger, lasts a lot longer

Than your anger or your pain

You need to say you're sorry

Son, you can come out whenever you're ready

And I know you can hear me

I left home to whip the world

Got knocked down plenty of times

Day or night, wrong or right

Dad's words would ease my mind

Even at the very end he was still giving

Lying there fighting to live

I couldn't find the words so I used his

I know you can hear me

You don't have to say a thing

You've been so strong, you're not alone

And I know that you're in pain

I know that you love me

You can let go whenever you're ready

And I know you can hear me

In my midnight hours

Those words still have so much power

I know you can hear me

You don't have to say a thing

Love is so strong, I'm never alone

Though I'll never be the same

I know you can hear me

I know you can hear me
