God on high 

here my pray 

in my need 

you have always been there 

he is young 

he's afraid 

let him rest 

heaven blessed 

bring him home 

bring him home 

bring him home 

he's like the son I might have known 

if God had granted me a son 

the summer's die one by one 

how soon they fly on and on 

before I'm old before I'm gone 

bring him peace 

bring him joy 

he is young 

he is only a boy 

you can take you can give 

let him be let him live 

if I die, let me die 

let him live 

bring him home 

bring him home 

bring him home
