Little child, be not afraid
Though rain pounds harshly against the glass
Like an unwanted stranger, there is no danger
I am here tonightLittle child, be not afraid
Though thunder explodes and lightning flash
Illuminates your tear-stained face
I am here tonightAnd someday you'll know that nature is so
The same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land, on forests and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you'll see in the morningLittle child, be not afraid
Though storm clouds mask your beloved moon
And its candlelight beams still keep pleasant dreams
I am here tonightLittle child, be not afraid
Though wind makes creatures of our trees
And their branches to hands, they're not real, understand
And I am here tonightFor you know, once even I was a little child and I was afraid
But a gentle someone always came
To dry all my tears, trade sweet sleep for fears
And to give a kiss goodnightWell, now I am grown and these years have shown
That rain's a part of how life goes
But it's dark and it's late, so I'll hold you and wait
'Til your frightened eyes do closeAnd I hope that you'll know
Everything's fine in the morning
The rain'll be gone in the morning
But I'll still be here in the morning
