What are these tears?
All your fears will pass away
Can you not hear?
The call of golden shores far away
Why are you weeping?
All your tears will be wiped away
Can you not see—that you're dreaming?
You will be home one day
No need to feel dread
I will hold you in my arms now
I will carry you to bed
Asleep beyond the darkest clouds
