The wind is blowing down the quiet river,
a shining road that carries you alone.
Baby boy my love will last forever.
If you´re to live, I must give you up to God.

I know our God will guide, protect and keep you.
Teach you faith and hold you by the heart.
Though your mother´s heart is broken by your leaving,
her Father knows just who he is and who you are.

I wish that life wasn´t always ending up this way,
with Heaven´s love at stake and hell to pay.
But you in God´s loving plan might be the missing part.
You must live.
So I give you to his heart.

The wind is blowing down the silent river,
a shining road that leaves me all alone.
A life for you´s worth losing you forever.
Some day we´ll stand in God´s fair land, forever home.

I wish that life wasn´t always ending up this way,
with Heaven´s love at stake and hell to pay.
But you in God´s loving plan might be the missing part.
You must live.
So I give you to his heart.

I wish that life wasn´t always ending up this way,

But you in God´s loving plan might be the missing part.
You must live.
So I give you to his heart.
