Fearful child, have faith in brighter days Stay home 'til this darkness fades away Lie still beside me I'll hold you now, I'll hold you forever
Winter's hand will freeze your heart again Doors will close, no time to start again Nothing is given Except the ties that hold us together
Lay down your load cause every day it's gonna grow And busk in the sunshine Try to pay no mind Try to pay no mind at all
To all the things that you don't know You've got time to realize you're shielded by the hands of love Cause you are young
Fading light may make a fool of me Courage fails, strengths slip away from me Lie still beside me And hold me now, and hold me forever
Lay down your load cause every day it's gonna grow These days are sacred Hey now, don't be scared Baby, don't be scared at all
Of all the things that you don't know You've got time to realize you're shielded by the hands of love Cause you are young You've got time, you've got to try To bring some good into this world Cause you are young Cause you are young
