Child Of Mine Lyrics

 Child of mine, you are the wildest wind and the dearest dream
 I will ever know.
 Love's lasting light shines out from deep within this father's heart
 As I watch you grow.
 
 Child of mine, you are the break of dawn and the brightest star
 I will ever know
 Love's lasting light comes shining on and on from this mother's heart
 As I watch you grow
 
 Chorus
 There is a road, and that road is all your own
 But we are here, you need not walk alone.
 To face, not fear each coming new unknown
 Is the way to lift your wings
 
 Child of mine, you are the sweetest song and the greatest gift
 I will ever know.
 Child of mine, where spirits fly above there is but one
 that belongs to you.
 
 So let it grow and it will thrive on love
 For it is love that sees us through
 
 You have the hands that will open up the doors
 You have the hopes this world is waiting for
 You are my own, but you are so much more
 You are tomorrow on the wing,
 
 Child of mine.
