Oh, dawn broke
Heavy rains made it hard to load
Is it time for the road?
I don't know, don't knowFather 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 mineSpirits will climb
Into a time of your design
All that I know
Never will be told, oh, child of mineAfter the flight
Dead of the night, oh, we'll be peaceful
Sweet laughter calls
All of a sudden, no time for waitingSo I'm off on the road
That I see might be coming
And those dreams that I hold
All for this child of mineAll that I know
Never will it show, sweet child of mine
All that I know
Never will be told, oh, child of mineSweet child of mine
Oh, child
