Lyrics Lord Protect My Child - Sissel

For her age, she's wise
She's got her mother's eyes
There's gladness in her heart
She's young and she's wild
My only pray is, I can't be there
Lord, protect my child
As her youth unfolds
She is centuries old
Just to see her play makes me smile
No matter what happens to me
No matter what my destiny
Lord, protect my child
The whole world is asleep
You can look at it and weep
Few things you find are worthwhile
And though I don't ask for much
No material things to touch
Lord, protect my child
She's young and on fire
Full of hope and desire
In a world that's been raped and defiled
If I fall along the way
And can't see another day
Lord, protect my child
There'll be a time I hear tell
When all will be well
When God and man will be reconciled
But until men lose their chains
And righteousness reigns
Lord, protect my child
Lord, protect my child
