[Verse 1]
Tonight, when the darkness comes
Why don't we treat it like a friend?
Then, we'll both be glad to see the night
And we'll be hoping it's never gonna end

[Pre-Chorus]
So don't be afraid of what the nighttime may bring
You must understand that you can dream of anything
So fall into sleep peaceful and deep
And may this journey help you fly
When you can't hold out much longer, don't you cry
When the darkness is getting stronger

[Chorus]
Sleep like a child, peaceful and deep
And when you lay you down, I pray your soul to keep
Sleep like a child, peaceful and deep
And when you lay you down, I pray your soul to keep

[Verse 2]
You won't be alone for I will not be denied
Under the darkest of skies, I'm gonna be by your side

[Pre-Chorus]
So fall into sleep, peaceful and deep
And may this journey help you fly
When you can't hold out much longer, don't you cry
When the darkness is getting stronger
[Chorus]
Sleep like a child, peaceful and deep
And when you lay you down, I pray your soul to keep
Sleep like a child, peaceful and deep
And when you lay you down, I pray your soul to keep

[Bridge]
Well, I know
I can see it in your eyes
You're tired of fighting every day
Tryna struggle through the night
Yes, I know
That it's hard to carry on
So just lay down your head
And in your dreams, you will be strong
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

[Chorus]
Sleep like a child, peaceful and deep
And when you lay you down, I pray your soul to keep
Ooh, like a child, peaceful and deep
Oh, oh
Sleep like a child, peaceful and deep
And when you lay you down, I pray your soul to keep
[Outro]

No, no, oh

La, la, la

Sleep like a child

Sleep like a child
(Ooh)
