  27 For his age, he's wise

  29 He's got his mother's eyes

  31 There's gladness in his heart

  39 Lord, protect my child
  40
  41 As his youth now unfolds
  42 He is centuries old
  43 Just to see him at play makes me smile
  44 No matter what happens to me
  45 No matter what my destiny
  46 Lord, protect my child
  47
  48 While the world is asleep
  49 You can look at it and weep
  50 Few things you find are worthwhile
  51 And though I don't ask for much
  52 No material things to touch
  53 Lord, protect my child
  54
  55 He's young and on fire
  56 Full of hope and desire
  57 In a world that's been raped, raped and defiled
  58 If I fall along the way
  59 And can't see another day
  60 Lord, protect my child
  61
  62 There'll be a time I hear tell
  63 When all will be well
  64 When God and man will be reconciled
  65 But until men lose their chains
  66 And righteousness reigns
  67 Lord, protect my child
