Tedeschi, Susan - Lord Protect My Child Lyrics






For his age, he is wise
He's got his mother's eyes
There's gladness in his heart
He's young and he is wild
My only prayer, is if I can't be there
Lord, oh Lord, protect my child

As his youth now unfolds
He is centuries old
Just to see him play, oh it makes me smile
No matter what happens to me
No matter what my destiny
Lord, oh Lord, protect my child

While the whole world is asleep
You can look at it and weep
Few things that you find are worthwhile
And though I don't ask for much
No material things to touch
Lord, oh Lord, protect my child

He is young and on fire
Full of hope and desire
In a world that's been raped, raped and defiled
And if I fall along the way
And can't see another day
Lord, oh Lord, protect my child

There'll be a time I hear tell
When all will be well
When God and man will be reconciled
But till men lose their chains
And righteousness reigns
Lord, oh Lord, protect my child
Oh yes, Lord, protect my child
Oh Lord, protect my child

    Kids, I used ta rush to the house after work, hook the boat up, fash to liquor store and grab couple cases of beer. Then, throw the boat in the river,Ohio, tool upstream to Pittsburgh's point. Why? Cause Susan was playing with BB King. Hook up with 50 or 60 other boats. The sounds that would echo off My. Washington, across the water, then echo back from the Burgh were true bliss. The frieght trains would stop down track. The crews would walk up just ta hear. Glad I got to be a part. Damn, miss them days, or nights if yinz will.

    @jimmy page​ Bigotry like yours is going to be the downfall of America. We passed Europe by because the US welcomed the best and brightest, most hard working people from all over the world. Without immigrants and ethnic minorities the US ages and stagnates. So your ideology might be winning but it's going to lead this country off of a cliff.

    j.... p....

    White women who fuck blacks are the downfall of my race

    j.... p....

    Umm... okay buddy if you say so. Just so you know, as far as nature is concerned humans are all the same species. Race is a social construct that doesn't exist. Cultures are very real though and I think they're the spice of life. You could say that ethnic mixing is going to bring the downfall of European(Western) civilization, but I argue that it strengthens it. In this video there is a white woman from Boston, singing a song written by a Jewish kid from Minnesota done in a style of music that originates from Black people in the southern US who were influenced by both European and West African sacred musical styles.

    You call this a downfall, but I call this 4 minute and 49 seconds worth of music a little miracle that can only happen in the United States of America.

    j.... p....

    Hey dumb butt, she's carrying Derek's first kid at this time in 05

    j.... p....
