Taking A Child By The Hand (Prendre Un Enfant)

Taking a child by the hand, teaching him just how to stand

So he'll accept what tomorrow may bring, taking a child for a king

Taking a child in your arms and as you feel your heart sing

Drying his tears as you're letting him cling, taking a child for a king



Taking a child to your heart, soothing away his distress

Softly in silence to soothe and caress, taking a child to your heart

Taking a child in your arms and as you feel your heart sing

Tears start to fall as you're letting him cling, taking a child for a king



Taking a child by the hand, singing him nursery rhymes

So that he'll sleep at the end of the day, singing his troubles away

Taking a child to your breast, soothing away his unrest

And looking on to the future you've planned, taking a child by the hand

Years on your own, now no longer alone, taking a child for your own
