(Intro — Music Box) [Music box melody. Simple. Repeating. A mother's hum underneath.] (Verse 1) Close your eyes, my little one The world is soft, the day is done The stars are watching from above You are safe, you are loved No questions here, no need to know Just let the gentle rhythm flow The cradle rocks, the shadows fade You are safe, you are made (Music box continues. Hum softens.) (Chorus) Sleep... sleep... The world will keep you safe Sleep... sleep... There's nothing to face Sleep... sleep... The silence holds you tight Sleep... sleep... Just close your eyes tonight (Hum: Mm... mm... mm...) (Verse 2) You do not know what waits outside You do not know the tears you'll cry You do not know the roads you'll walk You do not know the truths you'll balk And that is good, and that is kind The waking world can wait behind For now just rest, for now just be The silence holds you tenderly (Music box slows.) (Bridge — Gentle Warning) But one day you will wake And the world will not be soft One day you will see What you've been shielded from But not tonight, my child Not tonight Tonight you sleep Tonight you dream (Music box continues.) (Outro) Sleep... sleep... Silence... Sleep... sleep... Silence... (Music box key breaks. One note. Silence.)
