Little child, be not afraidThe rain pounds harsh against the glassLike an unwanted strangerThere is no dangerI am here tonightLittle childBe not afraidThough thunder explodesAnd lightning flashIlluminates your tear-stained faceI am here tonightAnd someday you'll knowThat nature is soThis same rain that draws you near meFalls on rivers and landAnd forests and sandMakes the beautiful world that you seeIn the morningLittle childBe not afraidThe storm clouds mask your beloved moonAnd its candlelight beamsStill keep pleasant dreamsI am here tonightLittle childBe not afraidThe wind makes creatures of our treesAnd the branches to handsThey're not real, understandAnd I am here tonightAnd someday you'll knowThat nature is soThis same rain that draws you near meFalls on rivers and landAnd forest and sandMakes the beautiful world that you seeIn the morningFor you know, once even IWas a little childAnd I was afraidBut a gentle someone always cameTo dry all my tearsTrade sweet sleep the fearsAnd to give a kiss goodnightWell, now I am grownAnd these days have shownRain's a part of how life goesBut it's dark and it's lateSo I'll hold you and wait'til your frightened eyes do closeAnd I hope that you'll knowThat nature is soThis same rain that draws you near meFalls on rivers and landAnd forests and sandMakes the beautiful world that you seeIn the morningEverything's fine in the morningThe rain will be gone in the morningBut I'll still be here in the morning
