There
will be a time to cry.
It
is not now, child,
It
is not now.
There
will be a time to hide.
It
is not now, child,
It
is not now.
There
will be a time to be afraid.
It
is not now, child,
It
is not now.
There
will be a time for deals made.
It
is not now, child,
It
is not now.
There
will be a time when justice is done.
It
is not now, child,
It
is not now.
There
will be a time when battles are won.
It
is not now, child,
It
is not now.
Now
is the time for dreams
Of
a world that is fair and good,
Where
everyone gets what they need,
Where
everyone does what they should.
So
may this night protect you,
Keep
you safe from harm.
Take
this kiss upon your brow,
This
warmth from my arms.
Close
your eyes and sleep in peace
For
I will chase the monsters away
So
that you may yawn and wake
To another sun-bright day.
