Lyric

Touching your hand so gently, soft breath in the air

A faint light spreads, I touch your lips with care

The premonition of a storm swirls deep inside

I feel your warmth so close, nowhere left to hide

Oh God, grant this child happiness, keep her from the harm

Protect the warmth and love she holds, safe within your arm

To me, a wandering soul, who lived in loneliness

I pray you grant me strength, to guard her innocence

Shoreline, small house, the sea is calm, just you and me

The stars still shine above, though darkness has yet to be

I hold your warm hand tight, to chase the fear away

The shadows have not yet come to claim the day

Oh God, grant this child happiness, with love and grace to spare

A bouquet filled with hope, within her hands so fair

For I cannot light the path that she must tread

So I kiss you in your dreams, while you sleep in your bed

Darkness covers the sky, stealing hope from all of men

The power to dream is fading, in this world of sin

Oh God, grant this child happiness, keep her from the harm

Fill her white hands with light, and keep her safe and warm

The wind begins to blow, the waves crash on the shore

The stars are fading out, the darkness asks for more

The sound of marching feet, the city burns in flame

The kingdom falls to ash, and nothing stays the same

Oh God, grant this child happiness, clear the darkness from her soul

Oh God, grant her your love, hear this prayer to make her whole
