Quiet Child

Quiet child now don't you cry
Going to sing you a lullaby
Father has to go far away
Close your eyes for him and pray

Mother wont be here soon
I'm so sorry to tell you
But the day they were taken away
I also came for you

Feel the beating of your heart
Slower now yet fast to start
Dry the tears upon your face
Send you to a better place

Rest your head and close your eyes
Darkness comes and hears your sighs
Have no fear now while you sleep
Of your mother and father dream

Oh how they miss you
I can feel them weeping too
The pain is in their faces
And mirth leaves no traces

Just close your eyes
Oh, quiet child
Just close your eyes
Oh, quiet child
