Verse 1: What's in the father's mind Why does he have to go And if I can't go with him There's one thing I must know Chorus: Will they love him, Will they love him like I do? Will they serve him, Take care of him like I do? I'm afraid to watch him go Afraid their hearts aren't true Oh, will they love him, Love him like I do? Verse 2: What can you say when all is lost When the light of day has gone away? Well, that's how it feels to watch him go Down to earth, to a humble birth And as he goes away, I hear my heart say Repeat chorus
