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      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      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      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?      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      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
