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 someday 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 someday 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 know one knows
But you're wrong

So you pray
And you wait
But don't worry, I will keep you safe

Someday 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
