God on high, hear my prayer In my need, you have always been there He is young, he's afraid Let him rest, heaven blessed. Bring him home, bring him home. Bring him home. He's like the son I might have known If God had granted me a son The summers die one by one How soon they fly, on and on. And I am old and will be gone. Bring him peace, bring him joy He is young, he is only a boy. You can take, you can give! Let him be, let him live! If I die, let me die. Let him live! Bring him home. Bring him home. Bring him home!
