I
I know you’re watching me as I’m walking down the road
My ten-minute stride to the nearest station
I know you’re there to see that I catch my favourite train
So I won’t be late for work every morning
Ii
I know you’re watching me as I am coming home to rest
My eight hours of sleep to regain my energy
I know you’re there to see that I’m awake again
To do the things I need to do every morning
Chorus 1:
Thank you for watching over me
At home and at work, and everywhere I go
Thank you for being there to see
And I am now what you want me to be
Iii
I know you’re watching me as I live this borrowed life
My more than fifty years of trying to find me
I know you’re there to see that I don’t waste my time
To do the things I need to do as I wait for you
Chorus 2:
Thank you for watching over me
So I could take good care of my family
Thank you for being there to see
And I am now what you want me to be
Bridge:
There was a time when my life seemed so dark
And I thought I could never find my way to you
So confused to understand
So afraid to stretch my hand
I didn’t know what to do.
Repeat Chorus 1
Coda:
Now I am what you want me to be...
Thank you for watching over me.
