Sleep peacefully now my child
I hope that you go away
To a place where your dreams can play
Wipe all the tears from your eyes
There is a sky of blue
This is your time of truth
Like a bird high on the wind
May you fly away
Like a snowfall in the spring
may you cares melt away
CHILD, innocent child
our hope lies inside
your starry eyes
my innocent child
Hero, now that you are free
You have no need to fear
so go out and find your smile
Like a candle in the stream
May you float away
Like a feather on the breeze
May you blow away
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Like a candle,
Like a snowfall
Like a feather
like a bird:fly away
Like a candle,
like a snowfall
like a feather
like a bird..fly away
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Sleep peacefully now my child
I hope that you go away
to a place where you dreams can play
I hope that you go away
To a place where your dreams can play
Wipe all the tears from your eyes
There is a sky of blue
This is your time of truth
May you fly away
Like a snowfall in the spring
may you cares melt away
CHILD, innocent child
our hope lies inside
your starry eyes
my innocent child
You have no need to fear
so go out and find your smile
Like a candle in the stream
May you float away
Like a feather on the breeze
May you blow away
Like a candle,
Like a snowfall
Like a feather
like a bird:fly away
Like a candle,
like a snowfall
like a feather
like a bird..fly away
I hope that you go away
to a place where you dreams can play

wow. i'm the first poster for this song. (and most likely will be the only post for for a long long while.)
i just remember this song especially because a girl and i danced at prom with this song on. (she and i became the prom king and queen incidentally)
it has a nice, bare tune to it that i managed to guess out of my guitar.
It makes me cry. To me it seems like he's telling his child to go to sleep because the pain is so much less when you are asleep. You can go anywhere you want.
It means: Don't be upset, go to sleep, have dreams. What happens around you no longer matters. You're still young, you're still innocent. It's your childhood, go and live it like anyone else.
