I hear that during night you lay Awake and wish it was the day And I hear that during morning's light You wonder why it isn't night These dreams they are a funny thing They root inside your heart and sing Of hopefulness that should have lost It's path amongst your souls black frost For years of winter's downy snow Has taught that flame of hope to go And I, the candle burning bright Have come to save you from the night But first, my dear, please tell me why You should not listen to this lullaby And, still with wick inside heart's ice Should not let this fire slice Away the nightmares and the dreams For hope is not as lost as seems
