It’s a simple song
about a humble guy
who became the pope
The plan was just divine
Heaven must have sent
this pilgrim of all time
sowing seeds of love
so deep in people's minds

That's what Papa said
Oh have no fear inside
Never be afraid
and open up your mind
That's what Papa said
Let love reign in your heart
Have no fear inside
Let Jesus be your guide

Magic words of wisdom
spread around the world
by this modest man
who loved us heart and soul
Listen to his words
They'll never fade in time
Everlasting truth just written in the sky

That's what Papa said
Oh have no fear inside
Never be afraid
and open up your mind
That's what Papa said
Let love reign in your heart
Have no fear inside
Let Jesus be your guide

Have no fear inside
Let Jesus be your guide
