Although you see the world
Sometimes I can touch upon
And all the new colors and
so glad you are a child of mine
Child of mine, child of mine
so glad you are a child of mine
You don't need direction,
And I don't want to hold you back,
I just want to watch you grow
And you're the one who taught me,
you don't have to look behind
so glad you are a child of mine
Child of mine, child of mine
so glad you are a child of mine
Nobody's gonna kill your dreams
Or tell you how to live your life
There'll always be people
who make it hard for a while
But you'll turn their heads
The times you were born in
may not have been the best
But you can make the times to
come better than the rest
I know you will be honest
if you can't always be kind
so glad you are a child of mine
Child of mine, child of mine
so glad you are a child of mine
