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
