Heritage

I wish I had a song to sing

To take your tears away

And see the smile come creeping

Back into your eye

If I had a dream to bring

To see you through your day

And keep you while you're sleeping

I'd put it by your side

If we could only steal tomorrow

And put it in your life

I'd be satisfied.

So close your eyes, my darling

And never fear the night

Be sure I'll be beside you

Till the morning light

And everyday anew must stay

God knows we need the sight

But still I'll try to guide you

Be it wrong or right

If we could only steal tomorrow

And put it in your life

I'd be satisfied

But all I have are thoughts to borrow

I'd place them in your hand

And hope you'll understand.
