lay your head, lay your head against the ground
slow your breathing and listen for the sound
all the earth is singing to you
all the stars are coming true
lay your head, lay your head over my heart
and I will try, I will try to do my part
I am singing you to sleep
I am giving you something to keep
close, close, close, close
and the hope and the hurt in your heart
brighter than sunflowers
lay your hand, lay your hand in mine
don’t you cry, time is only time
keep the windows open to the day
things the dark can never take
and the hope and the hurt in your heart
and the bright, bright star of all that you are
and the hope and the hurt in your heart
brighter than sunflowers (repeat)
and the hope and the hurt in your heart
and the bright, bright star of all that you are
and the hope and the hurt in your heart
brighter than sunflowers, brighter than
bright, bright, bright star, bright, bright star, bright, bright star
