Tell me why youre crying, my son I know youre 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 Im 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 dont 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 Day is done, day is done, day is done, day is done Tell me why youre 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
