Lyrics

My baby child
Strong like the sun
I raise you kind and I teach you not to hurt no one
Piece of my heart
Soft like a breeze
I watch you grow and I wonder 'bout the sights we see

Lessons you learn
There's a whole other side you don't know
Well a lot of this world's pretty sad
And I get afraid of the dark myself
But I'll try to keep you safe from anything bad

My shining star
So much ahead
You go on now and lay your troubles on your little bed

There's a whole other side you don't know
Well a lot of this world's pretty sad
And I get afraid of the dark myself
But I'll try to keep you safe from anything bad

I'll do my best to understand
Some can love, and others live with clenching hands

The lessons you learn...
