Lyrics

You’ll Be Okay

Come little child and lay your head down
Before that old devil comes looking around
He’ll gather you up and take you away
So sleep my sweet child and you’ll be okay

Come little child for the hour is near
When shadows make footprints across the veneer
And all the king’s horses are twisted and gray
So sleep my sweet child and you’ll be okay

So turn off the light and say a prayer
When you’re asleep you can’t be scared
You’ll go to a place where monsters don’t stray
So sleep my sweet child and you’ll be okay

So come little child and leave the day out
There’s nothing gathered from going about
All must be quiet when the strangers come play
So sleep my sweet child and you’ll be okay
