Tell me why you are crying, my son
I know you're frightened like everyone
Is it the thunder in the distance you fear
Will it help if I stay very near? I am here

And if you take my hand, my son
All will be well when the day is done
And if you take my hand, my son
All will be well when the day is done

Day is done
(When the day is done)
Day is done
(When the day is done)
Day is done
(Oh, when the day is done)
Day is done

Do you ask why I'm sighing, my son
You shall inherit what mankind has done
In a world filled with sorrow and woe
If you ask me, why this is so, I really don't know

And if you take my hand, my son
(If you take my hand, my son)
All will be well when the day is done
And if you take my hand, my son
(If you take my hand, my son)
All will be well when the day is done

Day is done
(When the day is done)
Day is done
(When the day is done)
Day is done
(When the day is done)
Day is done

Tell me why you are smiling, my son
Is there a secret you can't tell everyone?
Do you know more than men that are wise?
Can you see what we all must disguise through your loving eyes?

And if you take my hand, my son
(If you take my hand, my son)
All will be well when the day is done
And if you take my hand, my son
(If you take my hand, my son)
All will be well when the day is done

Day is done
(When the day is done)
Day is done
(Oh, when the day is done)
Day is done
(When the day is done)
Day is done, ooh day is done

And if you take my hand, my son
(If you take my hand, my son)
All will be well when the day is done
And if you take my hand, my son
(If you take my hand, my son)
All will be well when the day is done

And if you take my hand, my son
(If you take my hand, my son)
All will be well when the day is done
And if you take my hand, my son
(If you take my hand, my son)
All will be well when the day is done
