Sleep tight, little one
A guardian angel is watching you
First chapter, an unwritten one
Few pages, life has just begun
I'll be there for you

Be aware, little one
His plans are set, his eyes won't show
Assume a teenager's on the run
Became a stranger to the sun

Down below
Where the morning hour won't bring another day
And no clock will tick your time away
The longest hours till you bite the dust
'Cause someone has betrayed your trust

On the news almost every day
Innocent smile when led astray
Safe and sound when I'm around
Thoughts of losing you this way

Killing me inside
When the morning hour will bring another day
You'll spread your wings and fly away
Don't want to let you go, though I know I must
Someone could betray your trust

Be aware, little one
His plans are set, his eyes won't show
Assume a teenager's on the run
Became a stranger to the sun

Down below
Where the morning hour won't bring another day
And no clock will tick your time away
The longest hours till you bite the dust
'Cause someone has betrayed your trust

And the morning hour will bring another day
The outside world, yet so far away
I try so hard not to fear the worst
Someone could betray your trust
