lay down sweet baby
get some rest
let me soothe you
and rub your chest
you've worked so hard
and come so far
slip into the night
that's black as tar
here you'll sleep
you'll feel at ease
you've prayed for this
down on your knees
days on end
trying to cope
doing your best
to not lose hope
come rest my child
i'll hold you close
you'll be embraced
i love you most
i did not mean
for you to suffer
it made you strong
it made you tougher
but you made do
the best you could
in so much pain
yet there you stood
kind as an angel
you walked the earth
felt pain too soon
right after birth
come sweet baby
lay down your head
exhale deeply
rest on this bed
i loved you so
and always will
come on now child
and take this pill
