little child, be not afraid though rain pounds harshly against the glass like an unwanted stranger, there is no danger I am here tonight
little child, be not afraid though thunder explodes and lightning flash illuminates your tear-stained face I am here tonight
and someday you'll know that nature is so the same rain that draws you near me falls on rivers and land on forests and sand makes the beautiful world that you'll see in the morning
little child, be not afraid though storm clouds mask your beloved moon and its candlelight beams, still keep pleasant dreams I am here tonight
little child, be not afraid though wind makes creatures of our trees and their branches to hands, they're not real, understand and I am here tonight
for you know, once even I was a little child, and I was afraid but a gentle someone always came to dry all my tears, trade sweet sleep for fears and to give a kiss goodnight
well now I am grown and these years have shown that rain's a part of how life goes but it's dark and it's late so I'll hold you and wait 'till your frightened eyes do close
and I hope that you'll know...
everything's fine in the morning the rain'll be gone in the morning but I'll still be here in the morning
