I will tell him

I will tell him that he comes from this country
Where his father was a treefeller
And that the East also runs in his veins
And that such mixes make very beautiful children
That he is strong and very much alive
 
I will tell him that he was born of love
That we were waiting for him with excitement
That every night makes way for a new day
That he will grow up one day but he still has got time
Yes my lord, he still has got time
 
And that life may call to him, and that the world will await him
And that earth is that beautiful and the sky so large
That he is beautiful and that I love him, that he's my life, my joy
That he is one amongst millions of people
But for me he's a one-of-a-kind
 
I will tell him that you have to learn everything here inside
The good, the bad and even happiness
That he shall never loose his eyes of a child
In front of all the ugliness and tragedy
That he shall always look with the help of his heart
 
I will tell him to behave well and to be careful
To brush against ice and fire
To get a taste of everything but never to be dependent on anything
That very little things could be worse
Oh only very few things could be worse
 
And that life may call to him, and that the world will await him
And that earth is that beautiful and the sky so large
That he is beautiful and that I love him, that he's my life, my joy
That he is one amongst millions of people
But for me he's a one-of-a-kind
 
I will tell him the songs and the poems
That there's no love without trouble
That happiness is a seed that you sow
That you can't buy love and health
And that those things are the only riches you have
 
I will tell him that one day another woman
Will come and love him and that he will love her
That I will die out of happiness and of tears
But that we will be there step after step
That that is life and its rules
 
And that life may call to him, and that the world will await him
And that earth is that beautiful and the sky so large
That he is beautiful and that I love him, that he's my life, my joy
That he is one amongst millions of people
But for me he's a one of a kind
