Sweet Child
Kerry Livgren
My tears well up, as I look down
Your peaceful face still sleeping
I take your hand so small in mine, feeling your innocence
The night is still, the world is calm
My little one, the future’s before you
I fear this world that beckons you
Stealing your innocence
But it’s all right now, just call and I’ll hear you
And I pray somehow, I’ll always be near you
Watching you grow
Sweet Child, Sweet Child
Sweet Child, I want the best for you
(just look for what is true)
(just cling to what is true)
These days will end, I must let go
Your life will find it’s own way (and when)
You’re standing tall, you will not fall
Believing in innocence
And it’s all right now, just call and He’ll hеar you
And I pray that now, He’ll always be near you
Watching you grow
