Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Say your prayers, little one
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone
I tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes
[PreChorus]
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
[Chorus]
Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land
[Verse 2]
Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of Snow White
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite, yeah
[PreChorus]
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
[Chorus]
Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land
[Bridge]
Now I lay me down to sleep (Now I lay me down to sleep)
Pray the Lord my soul to keep (Pray the Lord my soul to keep)
If I die before I wake (If I die before I wake)
Pray the Lord my soul to take (Pray the Lord my soul to take)
[Bridge]
Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head
[Chorus]
Exit: light
Enter: night
Grain of sand
[Chorus]
Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land
[Outro]
Take my hand
We're off to never never land
Take my hand
We're off to never never land
We're off to never never land
We're off to never never land
