My Child
Plumb's 'My Child' is a tender song that expresses a parent's deep love and protective care for their child. The lyrics describe watching a sleeping child, feeling blessed, and sharing in their joys and pains. The parent promises to protect and let go, offering reassurance against fear. While not explicitly religious, the themes of unconditional love, protection, and comfort resonate with Christian ideas of God's fatherly care, making it a heartfelt piece often used in faith contexts.
Peacefully you are sleeping
Silently you dream
And I cannot help but feeling blessed
While watching you
Your eyes
My eyes
Your smile
My smile
Your love
My gain
Your hurt
My pain
Your laugh
My joy
Every time, it's mine
You are my child
I will always protect you
Oh and I will even let you go
I'll spend the sweetest time holding you
And will let you grow
Your eyes
My eyes
Your smile
My smile
Your love
My gain
Your hurt
My pain
Your laugh
My joy
Every time, it's mine
You are my child
Don't ever be afraid
Don't ever be afraid
Cause I am here
And if you start to fear
Just close your eyes
And hear me say
Your love
My gain
Your hurt
My pain
Your laugh
My joy
Every time, it's mine
You are my child
