God on high, hear my prayer In my need, you have always been there He is young, he's afraid Let him rest, heaven blessed Bring him home Bring him home Bring him home He's like the son I might have known If God had granted me a son The summer's die one by one How soon they fly on and on And I am old, and will be gone Bring him peace Bring him joy He is young, he is only a boy You can take, you can give Let him be, let him live If I die, let me die let him live Bring him home Bring him home Bring him home
