Lyrics Enter Sandman (Live at Wembley Stadium, London, England, 04/20/92) - Metallica
Hi folks! Good evening, Wembley and the world!
We are here tonight to celebrate
The life, and work, and dreams of one Freddie Mercury
We're gonna give him the biggest send-off in history
Okay, today is for Freddie, it's for you, and it's to tell
Everybody around the world that AIDS affects us all
That's what these red ribbons are all about
You can cry as much as you like, and John's got somethin' to tell you
Hello, first of all, Brian, Roger and myself would like to thank
All the artists who are performing here today in London
And they've given their time and energy
To make this tribute to Freddie a reality and to happen today
First of all, the show must go on
And we will start with an American band
Three times Grammy Award winners
Please welcome Metallica
Say your prayers, little one, don't forget, my son
To include everyone
I tuck you in, warm within, keep you free from sin
'Til the Sandman, he comes
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit light, enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Yeah
Something's wrong, shut the light, heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of Snow White
Dreams of war, dreams of liars, dreams of dragons' fire
And of things that will bite, hey
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit light, enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Hey-hey
Now, I lay me down to sleep (now, I lay me down to sleep)
Pray the Lord my soul to keep (pray the Lord my soul to keep)
If I die before I wake (if I die before I wake)
Pray the Lord my soul to take (pray the Lord)
Hush, little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beast under your bed
In your closet, in your head
Exit light, enter night
Grain of sand (yeah)
Exit light, enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Hey, alright
Go!
We're off to never-never land (take my hand)
We're off to never-never land (take my hand)
We're off to never-never land
Ohh, oh yeah
