Verse 1: As you lay down, I’ll hum you a tune Like you once did on summer afternoons Time is a river that’s washed us far But I remember who we are
Chorus: I’m no longer your child, you're no longer my shield Just two hearts weathered and healed No need to question, no words to explain I know you, and you know me just the same So rest easy, I’ll keep watch tonight It’s my turn to be your light
Verse 2: I’ll guard the dreams you left behind In every corner of my mind Your laughter, your wisdom, the scars we share The weight of it all, I’ll bear
Chorus: I’m no longer your child, you're no longer my shield Just two hearts weathered and healed No need to question, no words to explain I know you, and you know me just the same So rest easy, I’ll keep watch tonight It’s my turn to be your light
Bridge: Sleep a lifetime Breathe in all you’ve given me I’ll be your keeper, I’ll be the calm Until you find your peace
Outro: So close your eyes, don’t be afraid I’m here to chase the fears away The child you held so long ago Now holds the love you’ve shown
