Songs for a New World - Hear My Song lyrics

Child, I know you're weary And your eyes want to close The days are getting longer We're not getting any stronger Trust me Mama knows But lie in my arms while you're sleeping And think of the rivers you've crossed I'll tell you the dreams I've been keeping For moments like this When your hope is lost Hear my song It'll help you believe in tomorrow Hear my song It'll show you the way you can shine Hear my song It was made for the time When you don't know where to go Listen to the song that I sing You'll be fine Child, I know you're frightened And your throat's parched and dry But just trust in Mama's singing And the gift tomorrow's bringing Trust it, don't ask why Just lie in my arms And I'll tell you The things that you know but forget The lies no one ever could sell you I know that it's hard But don't give up get Hear my song It'll help you believe in tomorrow Hear my song It'll show you the way you can shine Hear my song It was made for the times When you don't know where to go Listen to the song that I sing You'll be fine ‘Cause I'll be singing — Hold on Hold tight I know it's dark right now But just believe somehow That soon there will be light Hold on Hold fast That's not enough for some But trust the light will come And we'll get past You and Mama Safe at last Hear my song It'll help us get through til tomorrow Hear my song It'll help us survive all the pain Hear my song It's the one thing I have That has never let you down Listen to the song that I sing Listen to the words in my heart Listen to the hope I can bring And you'll start to grow And shine Listen to the song that I sing And trust me We'll be fine A new world calls across the ocean...
