My Father's Lullaby

Be not afraid father
I’ve seen you carry the world
Traveled the distance robust and bold
Be brave.

Be not afraid father
These pains are fleeting
As compared to life that is everlasting
Be brave.

Be not afraid father
Rest your tired body
And I will sleep with you with leaves of holly
Be brave.

Be not afraid father
I can see you’re a fighter
But for now you have to rest and lay your banner
Be brave.

Be not afraid father
I’m singing a lullaby
I will lull you to sleep ‘til you say goodbye.
Be brave.

Hush now my father. Be brave.
