Sleep, child, while I stand guard

Nothing will harm you

Rest safely here

Lay down your head

I will protect you

I am strong and fierce

And you are my own

To have

But for a short time

We will stay together

And I will stand by you

Don’t be afraid

Rest easy, sleep in peace

The wind hums her lullaby

Only for us to hear
