I have been so far away <br />Counting the times until today <br />So long I have wanted a chance <br />When I could spend some time with you <br />Just with you <br /><br />You are growing so very fast <br />And I know I'm always the very last <br />To help you with a problem <br />To kiss your hurt if you should happen to fall down <br />Fall down <br /><br />But when I'm gone <br />I need you here to carry on <br />My son, I know you will be strong <br />Like a burning flame, you're my claim <br />That's why you've got my name <br />And just to show <br />Come what may I love you so <br />And there will come a day <br />When all that's mine is yours <br />To take good care of you and yours, I swear <br />And this is my prayer <br />Oh Lord, this is my prayer<br /><br /><br />
