This song was written by Bob Dylan & performed by Susan Tedeschi on her most recent album, Hope & Desire. The song is Lord Protect My Child. I first heard this song when I downloaded the album from Itunes... it spoke to me then, and means so much more to me now. Here are the lyrics. As you can probably tell, I love music & I love lyrics, they can express & convey so much of what we are feeling and where we are at in our life's journey.
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
