There's a father, in your sweetest dreams, who's always there to meet you needs,
He never, ever lets you down,
There's a mother, in your heart of hearts, who always plays the perfect part,
She never lets you hit the ground.
This is the need of children; these are their tender dreams,
And, oh, how it hurts when they don't come true.
That's why I'm learning to trust in you in everything I do,
I'm learning to trust in you 'cause I know in my heart that you're true,
I'm learning to trust in you, but sometimes it's so hard to do.
Father, little children must grow up,
And to grow we've got to learn to trust,
And to trust we've got to cling to you,
And when you tell me you will hold me close, it's the very thing I need the most, but it's the very hardest thing to do.
I've got this pain inside me, it speaks to me loud and clear,
When there's so much to gain there's always so much to lose.
That's why I'm learning to trust in you in everything I do,
I'm learning to trust in you 'cause I know in my heart that you're true,
I'm learning to trust in you, but sometimes it's so hard to do.
Keep calling me, drawing me closer,
Don't let me hold back,
Whatever it takes, I must break through,
The heart of a child is broken, but his time has come,
Whatever he lost, I'll find in you.
That's why I'm learning to trust in you in everything I do,
I'm learning to trust in you 'cause I know in my heart that you're true,
I'm learning to trust in you, but sometimes it's so hard to do, oh.
I'm learning to trust in you in everything I do,
I'm learning to trust in you 'cause I know in my heart that you're true,
I'm learning to trust in you, but sometimes it's so hard to do.
Hard to do,
Learning to trust in you,
It's hard to do,
I'm learning to trust,
It's so hard to do,
