Cradlesong

Everybody's got a different story

Everybody wanna give their selves away

But I'm still afraid

If we can stay out of their field of vision

If we can keep ourselves a half a world away

Ah honey, we'll be ok

The world can be so cruel

But I will sing to you

This cradlesong

Everybody's got their own opinion

Everybody's got a place where they belong

Like a favorite song

I don't want to be a faded memory

I don't want to be the ghost that you can't shake

I want be the real thing

The world can be so cruel

But I will sing for you

This cradle song

All night long

No one said we were victims, honey

No said we had to keep the things we get

And there ain't no regrets

All our friends, they moved to Hollywood

But we ain't that desperate yet, oh no

Ain't nothing like the real thing

The world can be so cruel

And let me sing for you

This cradlesong

All night long

We love our baby boy. And we love to cuddle with him. Some of our favorite moments of the day are when he lays his tired little head on our shoulders, sighs, and closes his eyes to fall into his deep slumber. He cuddles back. I know he won't do it forever, and if I could freeze time, I would freeze it during one of those moments. I would just hold my precious little man forever and keep him away from all the ugliness and cruelty out in the world.
