Cry sweet child, cry
For all the pain
You are going to feel
In this life.
Cry with the stars this night,
Before you have to fight.
Sing for the deaf ears,
And dance for the blind eyes.

Smile sweet child, smile,
For all the love
You are going to feel
In this life.
Write your love in your tears,
Fight against all your fears.
Dance in arms of comfort,
And sing the melody of hope.

Sleep sweet child, sleep
For all the nightmares
You are going to have
In this life.
Oversleep your heart 'till it stops,
Angels walk in your shadow
Let your memories disappear
In a river of fallen tears.
