Lyrics

What are you afraid of my son
What are you afraid of my son We all fall down
We all fall down
What are you afraid of my son
Look beyond the window my son
Look beyond the window my son
See who is strong
See who is strong
Look beyond the window my son
Show me all those diamonds now, my son
Show me all those diamonds now, my son
Welcome home
Welcome home
Show me all those diamonds now, my son

Welcome home, welcome home
Welcome home, welcome home
My son
