It's okay to cry
Every once in a while
But there's joy beyond the suffering
Don't you forget how to smile
The world's a tough place to live
I know too well
They'll crush your every hope and dream
And give you a dime to throw in the well
Just keep your eyes on me
('Cause) there's nothing you can do to make me love you more
I gave you life, and I'll give you hope
I promise you that
Nothing matters more to me than to see you smile
So child just rest, child just rest
Someday soon we'll be
Together again
I'll wrap you in a blanket
And call you my friend
We'll meet in a place
Beyond the reach of fear
The struggles of the world
Will all soon disappear
Just keep your eyes on me
('Cause) there's nothing you can do to make me love you more
I gave you life, and I'll give you hope
I promise you that
Nothing matters more to me than to see you smile
So child just rest, child just rest
So breathe and be with me
So just breathe and be with me
So just breathe and be with me
So just breathe and be with me
I gave you life, and I'll give you hope
I promise you that
Nothing matters more to me than to see you smile
So child just rest, child just rest
