NEW TIMES
(Listen)CHORUS
Well my son’s away – our thoughts and prayers go with you
Travel far and safe – our love goes always with you
As you follow your dreams – remember those at home go with you
Though you’re far away we travel in silence with you
Hoping you’ll find what you’re seeking
There’ll be brand new faces – who will want to know you
Brand new places and some will no doubt test you
But I know you’ll find your way through
Travel far and safe – our love goes always with you
As you follow your dreams – remember those at home go with you
Though you’re far away we travel in silence with you
Hoping you’ll find what you’re seeking
There’ll be brand new faces – who will want to know you
Brand new places and some will no doubt test you
But I know you’ll find your way through
CHORUS
I have watched you change – from baby to grown man
I love who you’ve become – a man who knows that children
Can teach us lots of life’s lessons
And no matter how long – you roam the world afar
There are people at home – who you can always turn to
If it all seems too hard
I love who you’ve become – a man who knows that children
Can teach us lots of life’s lessons
And no matter how long – you roam the world afar
There are people at home – who you can always turn to
If it all seems too hard
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I wandered abroad to discover new seas
We took you away from this land that you now leave
So I well understand what now takes you away
And wonder alone what your new world will bring
And if this land.....will be home again
We took you away from this land that you now leave
So I well understand what now takes you away
And wonder alone what your new world will bring
And if this land.....will be home again
CHORUS
