Baby, stop your crying
It's all right, I'll sing you a lullaby
To help you sleep tonight
And may your dreams be quiet
And take you to a place where friends are kind
Now baby, close your eyes
I'm scared, I'm scared
When you wake up, it's all over
You come home from school all broken, bruised
And scared, so scared
Your lips are sealed and my hands are tied
So I just sing you a lullaby tonight
Strolling home defeated
Another day, another fight
Where you're alone and they're with nine
Tomorrow I'll go find your teacher
And tell her all about the way you die inside
Now close your eyes
I'm scared, I'm scared
When you wake up, it starts all over
But ten times worse 'cause I told on them
I'm scared, so scared
Your lips are sealed and my hands are tied
So I just sing you a lullaby tonight
If I could, I would do anything to free you
From the shame, from the pain
Time to fade all the black and blue
But for now, hold on tight
'Til you've grown old and wise
And sing our lullaby
Twinkle, twinkle little star
You're perfect just the way you are
And if they're saying otherwise
Close your ears, now, close your eyes
Twinkle, twinkle little star
You're perfect just the way you are
