NOT ALONE

NOT ALONE

In the dark you roll against me,
And wrap your arms around so tight:
“I’m so afraid of the dark night
He will come, you’ll see, you’ll see.”

In the dark I hold you tightly,
Bury my nose in your long hair,
Promise you that I will care,
That none will hurt you, you’re with me.

In the dark I hum and comfort.
Tell you, you are safe and warm.
Pull you closer in my arms,
Far away from pain and hurt.

You are my little one, I love you.
Don’t forget: You’re not alone.
You’ll always be my special one,
Whatever you will say or do.

When we have the chance we’ll leave here,
And never even looking back
To those men who try to crack
Us, make us small and disappear.

But until then love, hold on tightly.
I will guide you through the night.
You are worth it, my bright light,
We will survive this, you and me.
