Sleep child, sleep, and weep no more

Open your eyes and take my hand,

Take a breath and I’ll be sure

to guide you through to the other land.

Calm dear, calm, there’s no need for fear here

And there’s no need for tears.

Step across the threshold now

And grasp your eyes to see

happy smiles and happy cheers and

happy things in all delight.

You shall learn to see, my friend,

that this is only a temporary fright.

Soon dear, soon,

You’ll cease to feel the pain,

You’ll cease the need to feign,

And you’ll cease those tears in the rain,

As happiness will be yours again.
