broken lullabies

lovely child

lay your head and sleep

dream of a world full of circus rides

and golden streets

lonely child

why are you so sad?

why do the tears fall so easily?

you're too young to weep

so you pray

and you wait

for the better days when you'll be safe

and some day soon you'll find where you belong

where there are no more broken lullabies

how long

child

have you been afraid?

when was the last time you laughed out loud

the last time you played?

you build your walls with blankets from your bed

you hide underneath them

you close your eyes

and try to forget

and some day soon you'll find where you belong

and one day soon you'll leave it all behind

you'll find a place where love remains

where there are no more broken lullabies

i know you feel like you're alone

but you're not

and i know you feel like no one knows

but you're wrong

so you pray

and you wait

but don't worry i will keep you safe

some day soon you'll find where you belong

and one day soon you'll leave it all behind

you'll find a place where love remains

where there are no more broken lullabies
