Oh, dawn broke

Heavy rains made it hard to load

Is it time for the road?

I don't know, don't know.

Father has gone

So let's go hold your baby's head

And I won't let go

Of your hand, child of mine

(Child of mine)

When it's time to let go

Then we'll be up in heaven's ground

Every dream that I dream

Let you have more than mine.

Spirits will climb

Into a time of your design

All that I know

Never will be told, oh, child of mine.

After the flight

Dead of the night, oh, we'll be peaceful

Sweet laughter calls

All of a sudden, no time for waiting.

So I'm off on the road

That I see might be coming

And those dreams that I hold

All for this child of mine.

All that I know

Never will it show, sweet child of mine

All that I know

Never will be told, oh, child of mine.

Sweet child of mine

Oh, child...
