In a distant town, as the dark grows deep
Unfamiliar words resound, whispered and weak
Let me heal the pain, drive away despair
Lead this child whos lost his way; help him prepare
While apart, understand
I will live my life for you wherever I am
Its my greatest wish, to provide for you
Tender moments, sweetest dreams, love, warm and true
As I close my eyes, even now I see
On his face, that little child smiles just for me
If I call, if he hears
He will turn towards me, free from his fears
Shine on one dear child, one so very small
One who carries on alone, strong after all
Shine on one dear child, one so very small
One who carries on alone, strong after all
