When you were born into this world your mom and dad saw a dream fulfilled
Dream come true; the answer to their prayers
You were to them a special child
You gave 'em joy every time you smiled
Each time you cried, they're at your side to care Child,
you don't know you'll never know how far they'd go to give you all their love can give.
To see you through and God it's true they'd die for you, if they must, to see you here
How many seasons came and went so many years have now been spent
for time ran fast and now at last you're strong
Now what has gotten over you you seem to hate your parents too
Do speak out your mind, why do you find them wrong?
Child you don't know you'll never know how far they'd go to give you all their love can give
To see you through and God it's true they'd die for you, if they must, to see you near
And now your path has gone astray
Child you ain't sure what to do or say
You're so alone, no friends are on your side
And child you now break down in tears
Let them drive away your fears
Where must you go, their arms stay open wide
Child you don't know
You'll never know how far they'd go to give you all their love can give
To see you through
And God it's true
They'd die for you, if they must, to see you here
Child you don't know
You'll never know how far they'd go to give you all their love can give
To see you through and God it's true they'd die for you, if they must, to see you near

The day you were born to this world
Your parents were full of joy
And their arms are your light
And your mother and father
Worries and don't know what to do
Watches over you even in your sleep
And in the night, a sleepless night, your mother
Is still awake to prepare your milk
And in the morning you are in the laps
Of your father, who is so joyful because of you
Now you are all grown up
You desire to be independent
Even if your parent forbid, they can't stop you
Isn't it you that changed a lot
Disobeyed them, remained stubborn
And you did not follow their advice
You did not took the time
To think about all the things they've done for you
For you desire, only what is pleasurable
You just ignored them
And the days has past
And you took a wrong turn in life
You are imprisoned in a horrible vice
And you first approach
Your dear crying mother
And asked "Child, what happened to you?"
And your eyes immediately shed tears
Without you noticing
Regretful and you realized
That you were at fault
When you were born into this world your mom and dad saw a dream fulfilled
Dream come true; the answer to their prayers
You were to them a special child
You gave 'em joy every time you smiled
Each time you cried, they're at your side to care Child,
you don't know you'll never know how far they'd go to give you all their love can give.
