Don't hang your head low cause I can't see your face In your reflection I see your beauty embrace And when the light shines bright to show you your way Do not be weary, don't turn your head away So let the critics look upon you with a thousand eyes And let their tongues do their judging and criticize And you just sit here before us and reveal your life Go on, go on my child Your soul is aching and it's dying to be heard This might be painful but consider the worth And when you feel like there's nobody on your side They will embrace you with a radiant smile So let the critics look upon you with a thousand eyes And let their tongues do their judging and criticize And you just sit here before us and reveal your life Go on, go on my child So you wanna give up and you can't find strength But I believe that you will make it in the end So you wanna step back and you want to retreat But I believe that there ain't nothing you can't be Don't feel so naked, I am the blanket of hope Your words are life rafts and they keep us afloat And when this long painful journey comes to an end They will be touched by the message, the message you've sent So let the critics look upon you with a thousand eyes And let their tongues do their judging and criticize And you just sit here before us and reveal your life Go on, go on my child
