g'night my friend, sleep sweet
I will not disturb you
call when you want me
and there I will be
waiting and listening

rest well, and be peaceful
while I toss and turn
alone in the dark
worrying about things
which I can't control

until, one day, dear friend
when I find my wings
and reach out to the dawn
rising high above the earth
and fly away forever
