"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..."

 

 

This song was performed at the Broadway Beat: Sassy Songs for a Heart Benefit. It was very touching and I wanted to share it with everyone!
