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 summers 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
