a lonely tree upon a mountaintop a city street where people never stop there you are a smile upon a little child s face a lonely soul in a forgotten place there you are but way beyond a winter s dream there s a song without a theme i understand as we dance deep into the starry night the song plays on till morning light it never ends every time i feel the wind blow every time i see a rainbow i know you re there every time i see a tear fall every time you hear my heart call i know you re there cause you are the author of all that we are father of fathers we re never too far from you lord from you old man looking out the window wondering where did all the time go there you are a mother praying for her lost son wondering why on earth did he run there you are holding back tears like a river of years that have all gone by cause you are the author of all that we are father make sure that we re never too far from you lord from you
