Child, I know you're weary 

And your eyes want to close 

The days are getting longer 

We're not getting any stronger 

Trust me,

Mama knows 



But lie in my arms while you're sleeping 

And think of the rivers you've crossed 

I'll tell you the dreams I've been keeping 

For moments like this 

When your hope is lost 



Hear my song 

It'll help you believe in tomorrow 

Hear my song 

It'll show you the way you can shine 

Hear my song 

It was made for the time 

When you don't know where to go 

Listen to the song that I sing 

You'll be fine 



Child, I know you're frightened 

And your throat's parched and dry 

But just trust in Mama's singing 

And the gift tomorrow's bringing 

Trust it, don't ask why 



Just lie in my arms 

And I'll tell you 

The things that you know but forget 

The lies no one ever could sell you 

I know that it's hard 

But don't give up get 



Hear my song 

It'll help you believe in tomorrow 

Hear my song 

It'll show you the way you can shine 

Hear my song 

It was made for the times 

When you don't know where to go 

Listen to the song that I sing 

You'll be fine 



‘Cause I'll be singing —

Hold on 

Hold tight 

I know it's dark right now 

But just believe somehow 

That soon there will be light 



Hold on 

Hold fast 

That's not enough for some 

But trust the light will come 

And we'll get past 

You and Mama 

Safe at last 



Hear my song 

It'll help us get through til tomorrow 

Hear my song 

It'll help us survive all the pain 

Hear my song 

It's the one thing I have 

That has never let you down 



Listen to the song that I sing 

Listen to the words in my heart 

Listen to the hope I can bring 

And you'll start to grow 

And shine 



Listen to the song that I sing 

And trust me 

We'll be fine 



A new world calls across the ocean...
