Fearful child
Have faith in brighter days
Stay until this darkness fades away
Lie still beside me
I’ll hold you now, I’ll hold you forever

Winters 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
Because everyday it’s going to grow
And bask 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
Because you are young 

Fading light may make a fool of me
Courage fail, strength slip away from me
Lie still beside me
And hold me now and hold me forever

Lay down your load
Because everyday it’s gonna grow
If 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
Because you are young
