My child, my fleeting hour has come,
There's no mercy for me, no pardon
Close my eyes, I know you're overcome
And I have failed to guard you
Over mountains, through the meadows,
You travelled far from home
By the hand of your father
I'm left, abandoned, alone
Hear my voice, remember who cradled you
Who loved you and swore to guide you,
Through the darkest hours of your life,
Return to me, if only tonight
Hear my voice, remember who cradled you
Who loved you and swore to guide you,
Through the darkest hours of your life,
Return to me, my child
Let us reuinite
