When a child is bein' born
Cut the cord and tie a knot
Be sure you cut it with a keen blade
Life is short and full of thorns
Clear his throat, be sure he cries out
Wash him clean, keep him warm
You gave him life, the truest thing you'll ever give
And his time will come
When your work is done
When your work is done
Won't you sing, Malinda
Oh, won't you sing for me
While the rain
While the rain is falling down
Slowly falls the rain outside
Won't you sing, Malinda, sing
Won't you sing one last song for me
In the hour of your dying
Point your breath and think away
In one brief moment
All eternity comes clean
Give yourself unto the light
Gladly have no fear
It gave you life, the only thing it has to give
And its time will come
When your work is done
When your work is done
Won't you sing, Malinda
Oh, won't you sing for me
While the rain
While the rain is falling down
Slowly falls the rain outside
Won't you sing, Malinda, sing
Won't you sing one last song for me
