tell me why you’re crying my son
i know you’re frightened like everyone
is it the thunder in the distance you fear
will it help if i stay very near
i am here
refrain
and if you take my hand my son
all will be well when the day is done
and if you take my hand my son
all will be well when the day is done
day is done day is done
day is done day is done
do you ask why i’m sighing my son
you shall inherit what mankind has done
in a world filled with sorrow and woe
if you ask me why this is so i really don’t know
refrain
tell me why you’re smiling my son
is there a secret you can tell everyone
do you know more than men that are wise
can you see what we all must disguise
through your loving eyes
refrain
