Child you have been born lucky
In a world of diamonds and gold
Child you have been born lucky
You'll ne'r feel the cold
Mother is always watching
To see you come to no harm
Wrapped in the love of your family
The ties that bind you are calm
Son we'll never be hurtful
Or blindly turn you away
We'll always help with your problems
From the dawn to the close of the day
Will you dress as a poor man
Or will you dress as a king
Will you always be happy
And will your heart always sing
Wish I could capture this moment
In a frame out in the hall
Wish I could hold you forever
And catch your stars when they fall
Wish I could look into the future
And see what man you'll become
But where ever the road of life takes you
You'll always be my precious son
