My Prayer

I have been so far away
Counting the time until today
So long Ive waited for a chance
When I could spend some time with you
Just with you
You are growing so very fast
And I know Im always the very last, oh To help you with a problem
To kiss your hurt if you should happen to fall down
Fall down
But when Im gone
I need you here to carry on My son I know you will be strong
Like a burning flame
Youre my claim
Thats why youve got my name
And just to show
Come what may I love you so And there will come a day
When all thats mine is yours
To take good care of you and yours I swear
I swear
And this is my prayer
Oh, yes
When I look at you, so hard to believe
Youre the younger version of older me I swear
I swear
And this is my prayer
Oh lord, this is my prayer
