O my child, you cry so many tears |
|
Seems like you've been crying for the world |
|
O my child, your world so full of fears |
|
Seems like you've been crying for the world |
|
I to bear you, I to raise you |
|
Father, give me strength to do it right |
|
I to adore you, be a refuge for you |
|
Father, give me strength to do it right |
|
Hush my child, and lay you down to sleep |
|
Seems like you've been crying for the world |
|
Hush my child, your tears that burn so deep |
|
Seems like you've been crying for the world |
|
I will protect you, guard you and guide you |
|
Father, give me strength to do it right |
|
I will love you more than I have to |
|
Father, give me strength to do it right |
|
O my child, I only wish I could |
|
Suffer all your trials in your place |
|
O my child, you know I truly would |
|
Take on all the evils you will face |
