  • Tell me why you're crying, my son
    I know you're frightened, like everyone
    Is it the thunder in the distance you fear?
    Will it help if I stay very near?
    I am here

    And if you take my hand my son
    All will be well when the day is done
    And if you take my hand my son
    All will be well when the day is done
    Day is done, day is done, day is done, day is done

    Do you ask why I'm sighing, my son?
    You shall inherit what mankind has done
    In a world filled with sorrow and woe
    If you ask me why this is so, I really don't know

    And if you take my hand my son
    All will be well when the day is done
    And if you take my hand my son
    All will be well when the day is done
    Day is done, day is done, day is done, day is done

    Tell me why you're smiling my son
    Is there a secret you can tell everyone?
    Do you know more than men that are wise?
    Can you see what we all must disguise
    Through your loving eyes?

    And if you take my hand my son
    All will be well when the day is done
    And if you take my hand my son
    All will be well when the day is done
    Day is done, day is done, day is done, day is done
    The day is done, day is done, day is done, all of you singing
    And if you take my hand my son
    All will be well my son oh
    If you take my hand my son
    All will be well Writer/s: PETER YARROW
