He can turn the tides and calm the angry sea He alone decides who writes a symphony He lights every star that makes a darkness bright He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night He still finds the time to hear a child's first prayer Saint or sinner call and always find him there Though it makes him sad to see the way we live He'll always say I forgive He can grant a wish or make a dream come true He can paint the clouds and turn to gray the blue He alone is there to find a rainbow's end He alone can see what lies beyond the bend He can touch a tree and turn the leaves to gold He knows every lie that you and I have told Though it makes him sad to see the way we live He'll always say I forgive
