Close your eyes and dream my child
Dream those sweet little dreams
Hold your teddy close my child
The world's not as big as it seems
Dry your tears my child
There's no need to cry.
Sometimes in life, there is no answer
To the greatest question... Why?
Close your eyes my child
Close them snug and tight.
Your fickle worries of today
Shall dissolve into the night.
Hold your pride my child
Protect and carry it high
NEVER let anyone take it from you
No matter how hard they try.
Listen carefully my child
To what I am going say
Know that I won't always be here
To keep you from going astray.

Keep your friends close
They're the treasure of your soul
Whenever you just need some help
They'll be there to console.

NEVER let anyone touch you
In ways you don't think they should
And don't be afraid to say anything
If anyone ever would.

Hold your family as tight as your friends...
Maybe just a little tighter
Cause friends tend to come and go
But your family knows your a fighter.

Last but not least... maybe even most important of all...

Never... I mean NEVER give up on yourself
Sometimes, you're all you've got.
And when you're feeling alone and scared
Just remember the things that I've taught.

I will ALWAYS love you.
