Go On My Child

Don't hang your head low cause I can't see your face

In your reflection I see your beauty embrace

And when the light shines bright to show you your way

Do not be weary, don't turn your head away

So let the critics look upon you with a thousand eyes

And let their tongues do their judging and criticize

And you just sit here before us and reveal your life

Go on, go on my child

Your soul is aching and it's dying to be heard

This might be painful but consider the worth

And when you feel like there's nobody on your side

They will embrace you with a radiant smile

So let the critics look upon you with a thousand eyes

And let their tongues do their judging and criticize

And you just sit here before us and reveal your life

Go on, go on my child

So you wanna give up and you can't find strength

But I believe that you will make it in the end

So you wanna step back and you want to retreat

But I believe that there ain't nothing you can't be

Don't feel so naked, I am the blanket of hope

Your words are life rafts and they keep us afloat

And when this long painful journey comes to an end

They will be touched by the message, the message you've sent

So let the critics look upon you with a thousand eyes

And let their tongues do their judging and criticize

And you just sit here before us and reveal your life

Go on, go on my child
