Song Writing & Lyrics
Why mention 'God' in a song directly addressed to a 'child'?
I wonder why 'God' is mentioned in the following lyrics lifted from Freddie Aguilar’s world-famous song “Child.”
Child, you don't know, you'll never know
How far they'd go to give you all their love can give,
To see you through, and, God, it's true
They'd die for you, if they must, to see you live.
When you listen to the entire song, the speaker apparently talks to the child, but in one of its stanzas (the one written above), he seems to be talking to God. Is it not confusing?
