Lullaby

Baby stop your crying
It's alright
I'll sing you a lullaby to help you sleep tonight
And may your dreams be quiet
And take you to a place where friends are kind
Now baby close your eyes

I'm scared
I'm scared
When you wake up it's all over
You come home from school
All broken, bruised
And scared
So scared
Your lips are sealed
And my hands are tied
So I just sing you a lullaby tonight

Strolling home defeated
Another day, another fight
Where you're alone and they're with nine
Tomorrow I'm gon' find your teacher
And tell her all about the way you die inside
Now close your eyes

I'm scared
I'm scared
When you wake up it starts all over
But ten times worse
Cause I told on them
I'm scared
So scared
Your lips are sealed
And my hands are tied
So I just sing you a lullaby tonight

If I could
I would do anything to free you
From the shame
From the pain
Time will fade all the black and blue
But for know hold on tight
Till you've grown old and wise
And sing our lullaby

Twinkle twinkle little star
You're perfect just the way you are
And if they're saying otherwise
Close your ears
Now close your eyes
Twinkle twinkle little star
You're perfect just the way you are
