Little child, be not afraid  
The rain pounds harsh against the glass  
Like an unwanted stranger  
There is no danger  
I am here tonight
 
Little child  
Be not afraid  
Though thunder explodes  
And lightning flash  
Illuminates your tear-stained face  
I am here tonight
 
And someday youll know  
That nature is so  
This same rain that draws you near me  
Falls on rivers and land  
And forests and sand  
Makes the beautiful world that you see  
In the morning
 
Little child  
Be not afraid  
The storm clouds mask your beloved moon  
And its candlelight beams  
Still keep pleasant dreams  
I am here tonight
 
Little child  
Be not afraid  
The wind makes creatures of our trees  
And the branches to hands  
Theyre not real, understand  
And I am here tonight
 
And someday youll know  
That nature is so  
This same rain that draws you near me  
Falls on rivers and land  
And forest and sand  
Makes the beautiful world that you see  
In the morning
 
For 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 the fears  
And to give a kiss goodnight
 
Well, now I am grown  
And these years have shown  
Rains a part of how life goes  
But its dark and its late  
So Ill hold you and wait  
til your frightened eyes do close
 
And I hope that youll know  
That nature is so  
This same rain that draws you near me  
Falls on rivers and land  
And forests and sand  
Makes the beautiful world that you see  
In the morning
 
Everythings fine in the morning  
The rain will be gone in the morning  
But Ill/youll still be here in the morning
