Sleep peacefully tonight



Accept the darkness with the light...
Know that when tears fall,
They will help you stand tall...
Let memories of the past last,
Never living life to fast...
Reach for a star,
Trusting it's not to far...
A smile on your face,
Isn't out of place...
You have become one,
And your life has truly begun...
No need to fight,
Or live in fright...
Welcome to the light,
Sleep peacefully tonight!
