Child O' Mine

My heart, my love, sweet child O’ mine
 I would if I could, free you from all confines
 And bring you back home to a love so genuine 
No one will love you unconditionally
 No not one man 
No one will ever cherish you like a mother can
 A mother to her child is like beach to the sand
 Your face is my face, your hand is my hand 
You will never find blood as thick as mine
 You can search all the land
 In case, you think I forgot
 Let me make this fact known 
I will always be here when you get back
 And gladly welcome you home
