[00:27.990]little child, be not afraid
[00:31.760]though rain pounds harshly against the glass
[00:35.950]like an unwanted stranger, there is no danger
[00:40.680]I am here tonight
[00:45.060]little child, be not afraid
[00:48.490]though thunder explodes and lightning flash
[00:53.020]illuminates your tear-stained face
[00:57.290]I am here tonight
[01:00.130]and someday you'll know
[01:02.390]that nature is so
[01:04.550]the same rain that draws you near me
[01:08.550]falls on rivers and land
[01:10.860]on forests and sand
[01:13.020]makes the beautiful world that you'll see
[01:17.250]in the morning
[01:26.940]little child, be not afraid
[01:30.580]though storm clouds mask your beloved moon
[01:34.530]and its candlelight beams, still keep pleasant dreams
[01:39.140]I am here tonight
[01:44.040]little child, be not afraid
[01:47.580]though wind makes creatures of our trees
[01:51.610]and their branches to hands, they're not real, understand
[01:56.510]and I am here tonight
[01:59.970]and someday you'll know
[02:01.360]that nature is so
[02:03.540]the same rain that draws you near me
[02:07.380]falls on rivers and land
[02:09.610]on forests and sand
[02:11.940]makes the beautiful world that you'll see
[02:16.330]in the morning
[02:32.010]for you know, once even I was a
[02:38.150]little child, and I was afraid
[02:44.030]but a gentle someone always came
[02:47.430]to dry all my tears, trade sweet sleep for fears
[02:52.120]and to give a kiss goodnight
[02:56.930]well now I am grown
[02:57.370]and these years have shown
[02:59.390]that rain's a part of how life goes
[03:03.270]but it's dark and it's late
[03:05.170]so I'll hold you and wait
[03:07.910]'til your frightened eyes do close
[03:11.600]and I hope that you'll know...
[03:13.850]that nature is so
[03:16.210]the same rain that draws you near me
[03:19.920]falls on rivers and land
[03:22.210]on forests and sand
[03:24.520]makes the beautiful world that you'll see
[03:28.790]in the morning
[03:32.160]everything's fine in the morning
[03:35.910]the rain'll be gone in the morning
[03:40.140]but I'll still be here in the morning

little child, be not afraid
