Hear My Song

Jason Robert Brown


Child, I know you're weary 
And your eyes want to close 
The days are getting longer 
We're not getting any stronger 
Trust me,
Mama knows 

But lie in my arms while you're sleeping 
And think of the rivers you've crossed 
I'll tell you the dreams I've been keeping 
For moments like this 
When your hope is lost 

Hear my song 
It'll help you believe in tomorrow 
Hear my song 
It'll show you the way you can shine 
Hear my song 
It was made for the time 
When you don't know where to go 
Listen to the song that I sing 
You'll be fine 

Child, I know you're frightened 
And your throat's parched and dry 
But just trust in Mama's singing 
And the gift tomorrow's bringing 
Trust it, don't ask why 

Just lie in my arms 
And I'll tell you 
The things that you know but forget 
The lies no one ever could sell you 
I know that it's hard 
But don't give up get 

Hear my song 
It'll help you believe in tomorrow 
Hear my song 
It'll show you the way you can shine 
Hear my song 
It was made for the times 
When you don't know where to go 
Listen to the song that I sing 
You'll be fine 

'Cause I'll be singing -
Hold on 
Hold tight 
I know it's dark right now 
But just believe somehow 
That soon there will be light 

Hold on 
Hold fast 
That's not enough for some 
But trust the light will come 
And we'll get past 
You and Mama 
Safe at last 

Hear my song 
It'll help us get through til tomorrow 
Hear my song 
It'll help us survive all the pain 
Hear my song 
It's the one thing I have 
That has never let you down 

Listen to the song that I sing 
Listen to the words in my heart 
Listen to the hope I can bring 
And you'll start to grow 
And shine 

Listen to the song that I sing 
And trust me 
We'll be fine 

A new world calls across the ocean...
