Gentle, gentle,
sing to your child.
Your companion for such a long, long time.
Beneath your heart,
her heart beats strong.
Life of your life
is safe in your arms

Oh touch her face.
You gave her form.
Child of this earth, child of this sky.
You are her voice.
She has your eyes.
This is her gift,
the thread of life.

Oh give her grace
and give her peace
Let her be strong, let her be kind.
She is your soul
and you are her strength.
Bless her and guide her
all of her life

Gentle, gentle,
sing to your child
Your companion for such a long, long time.
Beneath your heart,
her heart beats strong.
Life of your life
is safe in your arms.
