Crying for the world

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
