Closing my eyes you were always there

Stared back at me like a mirror

If no-one's here to show you the way

Will you walk in that line

That leads you astray?   



Before you were born I faced the choice

Existence only a dream

My gift to you, this dream of life   



The day you were born I saw joy in your face

With virtue and faith to grow strong

Of all the things I could give in this world

To help you survive, to keep you alive   



Do you believe in destiny?

What makes you think 

you're the doer of your actions

The Good, The Evil... what a quandary   



Come to my arms and shed no tears

Trust in me little one

Let me be your guide

And in life you will learn to fly   



It's like a mirror so much left to be had

Your innocence soon will be tested

Looking ahead, seeing the lead 

this life so new

The stars wait for you

As you grow you'll be tempted to stray

Your conscience pushed to the limit

Trust in the voice you know to be true   



My poor little thing

Don't fear, you're not so innocent, or are you?

Don't doubt. The doubts will make you feel worse   



Come to my arms and shed no tears

Trust in me little one

I will be your guide

And in life you will learn to fly   



Now you sleep well, little boy don't cry

In the morning a new light will shine

I'll erase your fear forever

And the darkness will dissappear

Little boy don't cry, little boy don't cry   



In the eyes of God you are all the same

Some possess the good, others all the pain   



Come to my arms and shed no tears

Trust in me little one

(trust in me, I'm your guide)

I will be your guide

Come to my arms and shed no tears

Trust in me little one

(trust in me, I'm your guide)

I will be your guide

And in life you will learn to fly   



Show me your other cheek,

I would like to see it

He likes that, it makes him feel good

It's all the same to me

I think you're one of mine

He got rid of you

I will give you shelter

I'll ask you no questions

I won't even doubt you

I know what you're like, and you're not bad

There's no difference between good and evil

And if there is, it's too late for you
