It's actually raining now, but I caught up on lots of sleep last night and Vienna Teng's amazingly sweet voice was going through my head...

Lullaby For A Stormy Night
by Vienna Teng


Little child, be not afraid
The rain pounds harsh against the glass
Like a unwanted stranger
There is no danger
I am here tonight

Little child, be not afraid
The thunder explodes and lightning flash
Illuminates
Your tear-stained face
I am here tonight
    And 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 see
    In the morning
Little child, be not afraid
Though storm clouds mask your beloved moon
And its candlelight beams
Still keep pleasant dreams
I am here tonight

Little 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 tonight
    And 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 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 for fears
And to give a kiss goodnight
    Well 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
    Till your frightened eyes do close

    And I hope that you 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 see
    In the morning

    Everything's fine in the morning
    The rain'll be gone in the morning
    But I'll still be here in the morning
