Go On My Child

Don't hang your head low 'cause I can't see your face In your reflection I see your beauty and grace And when the light shines bright to show you your way do not be weary Don't turn your head away So let the critics look upon you with a thousand eyes And let their tongues do the judging and criticize And you just sit here before us and reveal your light Go on Go on my child Go on Go on my child Your soul is aching and it's dying to be heard This might be painful but consider the worth And when you feel like there's nobody on your side They will embrace you with a radiant smile So let the critics look upon you with a thousand eyes And let their tongues do the judging and criticize And you just sit here before us and reveal your light Go on Go on my child Go on Go on my child So you want to give up and you can't find the strength I believe that you will make it in the end So you want to stare back and you want to retreat I believe that there ain't nothing you can't be Nothing you can't be Don't feel so naked I am the blanket of hope Your words are life rafts and they keep us afloat And when this long painful journey comes to an end They will be touched by the message The message you've sent So let the critics look upon you with a thousand eyes And let their tongues do the judging and criticize And you just sit here before us and reveal your light Go on Go on my child Go on Go on my child Go on Go on my child Go on Go on my child Go on Go on my child
