Lord Protect My Child Lyrics

For his age, he's wise

He's got his mother's eyes

There's gladness in his heart

He's young and he's wild

And my only prayer

Is if I can't be there

Lord, protect my child

As his youth now unfolds

He is centuries old

To see him at play

Makes me smile

No matter what happens to me

No matter what my destiny

Lord, protect my child

While the earth is asleep

You can look at it and weep

Few things you find

Are worthwhileBob Dylan - Lord Protect My Child - http://motolyrics.com/bob-dylan/lord-protect-my-child-lyrics.html

And though I don't ask for much

No material things to touch

Lord, protect my child

He's young and on fire

Full of hope and desire

In a world that's been raped

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 here 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
