Lullaby

Song from this video which I re-discovered recently.

This song makes me cry - I don't know if it's sad tears, or happy tears because sometimes when I'm emotional I cry happy tears about babies... :)

Little child, be not afraid,

The rain pounds harsh against the glass

Like an unwanted stranger,

There is no danger,

I am here tonight.

Little child, be not afraid,

The thunder explodes and lightning flash

Illuminates your tear-stained face

I am here tonight.

And some day you'll know

That nature is so

The same rain that draws you near me

Falls on rivers and land,

And forests and sand,

Makes the beautiful world that you see

In the morning.

Little child, be not afraid,

The storm clouds mask a beloved moon

And its candlelight beams still keep pleasant dreams

I am here tonight.

Little child, be not afraid,

The wind makes creatures of our trees,

And the branches to hands

They're not real, understand

And I am here tonight,

And some day you'll know

That nature is so

The same rain that draws you near me

Falls on rivers and land,

And forests and sand,

Makes the beautiful world that you see

In the morning.

For you know,

Once even I

Was a little child,

And I was afraid,

But a gentle someone always came

To dry all my tears,

To (?) the fears,

And to give a kiss goodnight

And now I'm (?)

And these years have shown

The rain's a part of how life goes,

But it's dark and it's late

So I'll hold you and wait,

Till your frightened eyes do close

And I hope that you know

That nature is so

The same rain that draws you near me

Falls on rivers and land,

And forests and sand,

Makes the beautiful world that you see

In the morning

Everything's fine in the morning

The rain'll be gone in the morning

But I'll still be here in the morning.
