Lyrics
Arise My Child
Arise my child and hear my word
What you decide will change the whole world
It's something that I want you to be
I've got a vision and I want you to see
It's true
I've got something for you to do
I've got a whole plan in mind for you
But only if you're willing to go
You've got the right to make a choice and say no
It's true or I wouldn't be tellin' you whoa
You and I must make a pact
Do the work to bring the others back
You and I could show the world
A new way to think and live and act
I can't say it won't be hard for you
A struggle each day in all that you do
At times you'll feel that you are alone
And you'll be tellin' me you want to come home
It's true
You know that it must be your choice
You'll have to be strong and use your own voice
Be ready to make your sacrifice
Give it all up for me and lay down your life
It's true or I wouldn't be tellin' you whoa
Chorus
I promise that I will stay with you
I promise that I will walk with you too
Remember that I'll always be there
Even when you are in the depths of despair
It's true
I dreamt that you would be my son
That one day the world would know we are one
I hope you will agree to your part
'Cause then there's no end to the love in your heart
It's true or I wouldn't be tellin' you whoa
You and I must make a pact
Do the work to bring the others back
You and I could show the world
A new way to think of livin' oh oh (repeat)
