[Chorus: Joanna Valencia]
Hush, little baby, don't you cry
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
Everything's gonna be alright
The Lord's gonna answer your prayer tonight
Hush, little baby, don't you cry
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
Everything's gonna be alright
The Lord's gonna answer your prayer

[Verse 1: TobyMac & Joanna Valencia]
Last night you had a dream you was the homecomin' queen
Today you're 18, happy birthday, Irene
Quit school, you had to drop out to raise your little child
Don't you cry, be alright
You got to reach up to touch rock bottom
The powers that be keep you downtrodden
Daughter of Zion, I heard your prayer
Just cast your cares and please beware of snakes
They come in all shapes and sizes
Tempt you, put scales on your eyelids
Don't waste your sorrows, they give you strength tomorrow
Your calvary's about to come so
Keep ya head up, don't you ever let up
The storm will pass, you'll be ready for the next one
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, little girl with the pressures of the world on your shoulders, don't say that it's over
I heard your prayers, just cast your cares
And I'll be there, so don't you fear
I say, "Hey, little girl with the pressures of the world on your shoulders, don't say that it's over"
I heard your prayers, just cast your cares
And I'll be there, so don't you fear

[Chorus: Joanna Valencia & TobyMac]
Hush, little baby, don't you cry (Don't you cry)
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby (A lullaby)
Everything's gonna be alright (Yeah)
The Lord's gonna answer your prayer tonight
Hush, little baby, don't you cry (Don't you cry)
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby (A lullaby)
Everything's gonna be alright (Yeah)
The Lord's gonna answer your prayer tonight

[Verse 2]
Irene, I carried you when you was too weak to walk
I took to you when you gave your heart to God
Faithful and true, that's what I'll always be to you, believe in you
Believe in Me and these mountains have to move
You have dreams and aspirations (Yeah, yeah)
I knew you before Creation, your foundation's solid (Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah)
I will build you a palace restore your soul (Yeah)
You'll be up for any challenge, many storms are on the way (Yeah)
You better sharpen your faith (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Count the cost, take up your cross
And wear it everyday (Yeah)
Rest in Me and I will give you strength (Yeah, yeah)
Blessed is she, Irene, who seeks My face
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, little girl with the pressures of the world on your shoulders, don't say that it's over
I heard your prayers, just cast your cares
And I'll be there, so don't you fear
I say, "Hey, little girl with the pressures of the world on your shoulders, don't say that it's over"
I heard your prayers, just cast your cares
And I'll be there, so don't you fear

[Chorus: Joanna Valencia & TobyMac]
Hush, little baby, don't you cry (Don't you cry)
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby (A lullaby)
Everything's gonna be alright (Yeah)
The Lord's gonna answer your prayer tonight
Hush, little baby, don't you cry (Don't you cry)
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby (A lullaby)
Everything's gonna be alright (Yeah)
The Lord's gonna answer your prayer tonight

Hush, little baby, don't you cry
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
Everything's gonna be alright
The Lord's gonna answer your prayer tonight
Hush, little baby, don't you cry
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
Everything's gonna be alright
The Lord's gonna answer your prayer tonight
Hush, little baby, don't you cry
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
Everything's gonna be alright
The Lord's gonna answer your prayer tonight
Hush, little baby, don't you cry
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
Everything's gonna be alright
The Lord's gonna answer your prayer
