Lyrics

I've watched you grow all through your life,
and watched you overcome,
so many difficulties, so many trials.
You know you've already walked many miles.

You're a missionary now, out in the world.
Can't believe somehow, you're out on your own.
Don't you know, we love you so,
we hope you're doing fine,
and we're letting go, letting go.

How are you feeling?
Are you safe tonight, as I write this song?
Are you happy? Are you scared?
Is the work going well? Are you prepared?

You're a missionary now, out in the world.
Can't believe somehow, you're out on your own.
Don't you know, we love you so,
we hope you're doing fine,
and we're letting go, letting go.

Heavenly Father, protect my son.
I know you hear his prayers.
Guide his footsteps, every day,
Lead him, help him, show him the way.
He's a missionary now, out in the world.

Can't believe somehow, he's out on his own.
Don't you know, we love him so,
we know he's doing fine,
Father, hold him close, hold him close,
hold him close.
