A child heard a line,
That moved him,
The child never grew,
The line,
It came true,
And all around,

Inside dreams that stay,
Dull on through these days,
That follow,
Reminded only by,
The saddest lullaby,
That was whispered,

You've got to lie down,
For a while,
This will pass,
It's only mild,
You've got to ease your mind,
For a while.

I know I'll never be,
Able to be free,
From these memories,
Of loving life the same,
Embrace it everyday,
Then it comes to you,

You've got to lie down,
For a while,
This will pass,
It's only mild,
You've got to ease your mind,
You've got to ease your mind,
For a while,
Yeah,

Lie down for a while,
This will pass,
It's only mild,
You've got to ease your mind,
For a while

Only for a while,
Only for a while,
Only for a while,
Ooh-ooh
