I have been so far away
Counting the time until today
So long I´ve waited for a chance

When I could spend some time with you
Just with you

You are growing so very fast
And I know I´m always the very last, oh
To help you with a problem
To kiss your hurt if you should happen to fall down
Fall down

But when I´m gone
I need you here to carry on
My son I know you will be strong
Like a burning flame
You´re my claim
That´s why you´ve got my name
And just to show
Come what may I love you so

And there will come a day
When all that´s mine is yours
To take good care of you and yours I swear
I swear
And this is my prayer

Oh, yes
When I look at you, so hard to believe
You´re the younger version of older me
I swear
I swear
And this is my prayer
Oh Lord, this is my prayer
