Lord Protect My Child Lyrics - Bob Dylan

For his age, he's wise 

He's got his mother's eyes 

There's gladness in his heart 

He's young and he's wild 

My only prayer is, if I can't be there, 

Lord, protect my child 

As his youth now unfolds 

He is centuries old 

Just to see him at play makes me smile 

No matter what happens to me 

No matter what my destiny 

Lord, protect my child

While the world is asleep 

You can look at it and weep 

Few things you find are worthwhile 

And though I don't ask for much 

No material things to touch 

Lord, protect my child 

He's young and on fire 

Full of hope and desire 

In a world that's been raped, raped and defiled 

If I fall along the way 

And can't see another day 

Lord, protect my child

There'll be a time I hear tell 

When all will be well 

When God and man will be reconciled 

But until men lose their chains 

And righteousness reigns 

Lord, protect my child
