Tell me why you're crying, my son I know you're frightened, like everyone Is it the thunder in the distance you fear? Will it help if I stay very near? I am here. And if you take my hand, my son All will be well when the day is done And if you take my hand my son All will be well when the day is done Day is done, day is done, day is done Day is done. You ask me why I'm sighing, my son You shall inhereit what mankind has done In a world filled with sorrow and woe If you ask me why this is so - I really don't know Tell me why you're smiling, my son, Is there a secret you can tell everyone? Do you know more than those who are as wise? Can you see what we all must disguise? Through your loving eyes.
