God Bless The Child Lyrics

Oh my love what have I done (x2)
Well I'm doing it anymore
No I'm not doing it anymore
So take my mark

I'm done for so God bless the child (x4)
Oh my love what have I done (x4)

I'm not doing it anymore
No I'm not doing it anymore
(x4)

I'm done for so God bless the child (x4)

Take my mark and hold it tight (x4)
Take my mark and use it right (x4)

I'm done for so God bless the child (x12)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

These lyrics are so minmalist, but to the point. This song is surprisingly light in mood and detached for its subject matter.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the composer and his wife lost a child sometime before this song was written. It seems like the roles are reversed, and the singer is dying, and the child will live on. Wishful thinking on his behalf, but very understandable. another painfully intimate song from TPT - the best band I've heard for an awfully long time.
