Baby, come back
You've been hiding out, you've been laying low
Down in the shadows too long
All the memories
When you promised you the summertime
But summer is yours to hold
The pretty lies that rolled you
Voices that had told you
What is so, what is not so
To let you breathe
To see you whole
And thank God
Bless the child that's got her own
To let you breathe

Hey, bless the child that's got her own
Hey, bless the child that's got her own
Baby, go on
Your hand on your heart and your eyes on the road
Get yourself back home
You've got friends on your side
You've got miles behind
You've got the starry skies
Stumbling is like flying
Falling is like dying
Love will follow
And fly, amen
To let you breathe
To see you whole
And thank God
Bless the child that's got her own
Hey, bless the child that's got her own
Hey, bless the child that's got her own
Hey, bless the child that's got her own
Hey, bless the child that's got her own
Hey, bless the child that's got her own



Hey, bless the child, it's got her on
Hey, bless the child, it's got her on
Hey
Hey
