God on high

hear my prayer

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 summers die

one by one

How soon they fly

on and on

And I am old

and will be 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
