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      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
