MY CHILD YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU
EVEN THOUGH I’M SO FAR AWAY
WISH THERE WAS SOMETHING I COULD DO
TO BE WITH YOU TODAY
JUST BECAUSE I’M NOT WITH YOU
WHEN YOU BEGIN YOUR DAY
DON’T MEAN I DON’T LOVE YOU
ALTHOUGH IT MAY SEEM THAT WAY
FOR I’M A SINGLE PARENT
DOUBLING WHEN I CAN
FOR THE ONE WHO’S NOT THERE
I HOPE YOU’LL UNDERSTAND
NO IT WON’T BE EASY
WE’LL TRY THE BEST WE CAN
TO MAKE OURSELVES A FAMILY
FEEL LIKE ONE AGAIN
I KNOW THAT YOU WILL ASK ME
WHY THINGS ARE THIS WAY
I KNOWYOU’LL UNDERSTAND THIS
WHEN YOU GET OLDER SOME DAY
‘TILL THEN PLEASE PRAY THAT
I’LL DO THE RIGHT THING
TO MAKE US A FAMILY AND
ALL THE JOY IT WILL BRING
FOR I’M A SINGLE PARENT
DOUBLING WHEN I CAN
FOR THE ONE WHO’S NOT THERE
I HOPE YOU’LL UNDERSTAND
NO IT WON’T BE EASY
WE’LL TRY THE BEST WE CAN
TO MAKE OURSELVES A FAMILY
FEEL LIKE ONE AGAIN
GOD HAS HIS PURPOSE
FOR ALL WHO WALK HIS LAND
ALL WILL MAKE IT
WHO ASK FOR HIS HAND
PRAY HE WILL SHOW US
WHAT IS HIS WILL
AND THAT HE WILL GIVE US
THE STRENGTH TO PAY THE BILL
