It's a song my mother used to sing to me
That talks about love and Italy
I carry it inside me, it's like a prayer
For the days when I don't like life
It's a song that talks about being proud
About building something with your hands
It says 'my child, you gotta love the earth
No need for gold to be somebody'
It says 'my child, you gotta love the earth
No need for gold to be somebody'
Soon everything, soon everything, will be better
Fall asleep, baby, and sweet dreams
Soon everything, soon everything, will be better
Fall asleep, baby, and sweet dreams
It's a refrain that heals wounds
A breath of fresh air, of freedom
A little poem that was my armor
When the night no longer knew how to rock me
Pain's just a sting, we heal from everything, I'm sure of it
I swear the world's not that hard
You gotta dream a lot, period, that's all
That's what the song says, this little boy's melody
That's what the song says, this little boy's melody
Soon everything, soon everything, will be better
Fall asleep, baby, and sweet dreams
Soon everything, soon everything, will be better
Fall asleep, baby, and sweet dreams
It's a fact, life is a party
All things considered, a fairy tale
I know it's not true every day
But I savor the moment, that's my truth
I know it's not true every day
But I savor the moment
Soon everything, soon everything, will be better
Fall asleep, baby, and sweet dreams
Keep going, keep going, and hold me
Close your eyes, when it's dark I'll always be here
Keep going, keep going, and hold me
Close your eyes, when it's dark I'll always be here
Close your eyes, when it's dark I'll always be here
