Tell me why you're crying, my son
I know you're frightened like everyone
Is it the thunder and lightning you fear?
Would it help if I stand very near?
And if you take my hand, my son
Things will be well when the day is done
And if you take my hand, my son
Things will be well when the day is done
Why don't you take my hand, my son?
Things will be well when the day is done
So come on and take my hand, my son
Things will be better when the day is done
You ask me why I'm sighing, my son
You shall inherit what mankind has done
In a world filled with sorrow and woe
Please don't ask me why this is so
All you gotta do is take my hand, my son
Things will be well when the day is done
So won't you take my hand, my son?
Things will be well when the day is done
Come on, come on and take my hand, my son
Things will be well when the day is done
Why don't you take my, take my hand, my son?
Things will be better
Day is done, day is done
Day is done, done
All you gotta do is take my hand, my son
Things will be well when the day is done
Come on, come on and take my hand, my son
Things will be better when the 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? (We all have a lie)
So won't you take my hand, my son?
Things will be well when the day is done
And if you take my hand, my son
Things will be well when the day is done
Come on, come on and take my hand, my son
Things will be well when the day is done
All you gotta do is take my hand, my son
Things will be better
Day is done (Things will be better)
Day is done (Things will be better)
Day is done (Things will be better)
Day is done (Things will be better, better)
Day is done (Things will be better)
Day is done (Things will be better, better)
Day is done (Things will be better)
Done (Things will be better, better)
Day is done (Things will be better)
Done (Things will be better, better)
Day is done (Things will be better)
