When I'm down, when my soul's in need of rest
Come your words of comfort and of hope
I see your face always smiling back at me
A stream of light running straight to the heart

Child of God/Child of light
There'll be no more lonely nights
'Cause you have brightened up my life

There's a road that leads me to this place
A path of love running straight to the heart

Over the years I've learned one important
thing
It's that real friends shall never truly be
apart
You were there in my darkest time of need
With a hand reaching straight to the heart

Child of God/Child of light
There'll be no more lonely nights
'Cause you have brightened up my life

Take this gift it is all I have to give
A prayer of love forever straight to the
heart
A prayer of love forever straight to the
heart
