In a distant town, as the dark grows deepUnfamiliar words resound, whispered and weakLet me heal the pain, drive away despairLead this child whos lost his way; help him prepareWhile apart, understandI will live my life for you wherever I amIts my greatest wish, to provide for youTender moments, sweetest dreams, love, warm and trueAs I close my eyes, even now I seeOn his face, that little child smiles just for meIf I call, if he hearsHe will turn towards me, free from his fearsShine on one dear child, one so very smallOne who carries on alone, strong after allShine on one dear child, one so very smallOne who carries on alone, strong after all
