There's a picture that hangs on the doctor's wall
Of a child on a swing with all the colors of fall
You were lost in that scene while the doctor describes
The traces of cancer they found inside
But I believe that God was listening
And I believe that heaven cares
And though there are no easy answers,
I believe He hears your prayers
(That) Good things happen when people pray,
Even though your heart says there's no way
When night-time swallows up our day
I know someone... oh I know someone,
Who will whisper peace be still, who can comfort us until,
We're gonna see the light of day'
Cause good things happen... when people pray
Yeah I remember when those towers fell
The whole nation cried, oh but who can tell
Just how many prayers went up that day
For the mothers and the fathers that were taken away
But I believe that God was listening
And I believe that heaven cares'
Bout those mothers and fathers, the sons and the daughters
Who lifted up their prayers
(Chorus repeat)
Bridge: Though we keep moving down these same old roads,
And surely everything we carry, He already knows
Well it looks like the sun's gonna shine today
Though the night never gave any hint that way
And we sure didn't think these storms would pass,
That peace like the morning would come at last
But with that peace, we know He's listening
And with our hearts we know He cares
And with our faith we keep believing that Jesus hears our prayers
(Chorus repeat)
Oh sweet Jesus, hear our little prayers
