Child Of Mine Lyrics - Singles - Staines Bill

Child of mine, you are the wildest wind and the dearest dream 

I will ever know. 

Love's lasting light shines out from deep within this father's heart 

As I watch you grow. 

Child of mine, you are the break of dawn and the brightest star 

I will ever know 

Love's lasting light comes shining on and on from this mother's heart 

As I watch you grow 

Chorus 

There is a road, and that road is all your own 

But we are here, you need not walk alone. 

To face, not fear each coming new unknown 

Is the way to lift your wings 

Child of mine, you are the sweetest song and the greatest gift 

I will ever know. 

Child of mine, where spirits fly above there is but one 

that belongs to you. 

So let it grow and it will thrive on love 

For it is love that sees us through 

You have the hands that will open up the doors 

You have the hopes this world is waiting for 

You are my own, but you are so much more 

You are tomorrow on the wing, 

Child of mine.
