I Turn To You
I nodded my head, tried to deafen my steps
I slapped me on the back, but i could not cover my own tracks
Oh to be as a child I turned to a way
Now, he looks at me and I turn to you
My tongue cannot cry words I feel in my eyes
One promise made at night, to live 'til I die
Oh to be as a child I turned to a way
Now, he looks at me and I turn to you
A time of need is at hand
A day will come to leave all I can
My Mother and my Father are not here in this world
But you are alive and well my son
Another hard mornin' in her body old and weak
She wrestles her muscles, but in her heart she still believes
You will rest and be fed, she suffers love removed
She looks at me and I turn to you
A time of need is at hand
A day will come to leave all I can
My Mother and my Father are not here in this world
But you are alive and well my son
(Repeat Chorus)
You are alive so well my son...
