Trust Like a Child

When we cry

Tears of sorrow

When we’d rather cry

Tears of joy,

And we ask, “Why,

Why face tomorrow?”

Cuz we’ve had enough.

Lord, it sure is tough.

And we just

Can’t seem to

Trust like a child in the dark of the night,

Staring up at a star

Fingers crossed tight

Saying, “Lord above, I wish I may, wish I might

Have this single wish I wish tonight:

I wish tomorrow will bring the sun

Shining down on everyone.”

Then the child falls asleep in a little while,

Star shining down on a trusting smile

May we all trust like that child

In the dark of the night.
