May you find solace in the gentle arms of sleep

 Despite the wolves outside your door

 In time you will see them all as harmless

 And their idle threats easy to ignore

 And if ever fate should choose to smite you

 Stand your ground, never walk away

 Please don't ever let the world defeat you

 Don't get buried in its decay

 As you drift into the gauzy realm of dreams

 May you take comfort in the thought that you are safe

 For it only takes a fraction of a second

 For all of this to change

Return to me

 When slumber's fog has lifted

Return to me

 Stronger than before

 As you sink beneath the soothing streams of time

 May you be thankful that you had another day

 For there comes a time when each of us will enter

 A sleep from which we will never wake

 And if ever fate should choose to smite you

 Stand your ground, never walk away

 Please don't ever let the world defeat you

 Don't get buried in its decay

 Close your eyes now, if only for a moment

 For it's time you get some rest

 The wolves are gone and nothing here can harm you

 Let go of your fragile consciousness

Return to me

 When slumber's fog has lifted

Return to me

 Stronger than before
