My Prayer Lyrics

I have been so far away
Counting the times until today
So long I have wanted a chance
When I could spend some time with you
Just with you

You are growing so very fast
And I know I'm always the very last
To help you with a problem
To kiss your hurt if you should happen to fall down
Fall down

But when I'm gone
I need you here to carry on
My son, I know you will be strong
Like a burning flame, you're my claim
That's why you've got my name
And just to show
Come what may I love you so
And there will come a day 
When all that's mine is yours
To take good care of you and yours, I swear
And this is my prayer
Oh Lord, this is my prayer
