|
| Yet still he took him as his own

|
| And as he watched him grow

|

|
| And I believe he did his best
| E credo che abbia fatto del suo meglio
|
| It wasn’t easy for him but he did all he could

|

|
| It wasn’t his child, it wasn’t his child

|
| And when the boy became a man

|
| He took his father’s hand
