I Will Be Here
Embracing Dreams: A Serenade of Comfort and Courage
Lyrics
Again you’re calling me
Responding to a call once again
Need the light to see
Seeking illumination for vision
All the dragons and beasts hiding underneath
Acknowledging hidden challenges and difficulties
You say your bed ain’t safe
Expressing unease about the safety of a bed
It’s being rocked by waves
Bed symbolically disturbed by turbulent emotions
You aren’t sleepy ‘cause pirates are on their way
Insomnia caused by thoughts of impending troubles
You’re here in my arms
Embracing someone in a moment of vulnerability
The day won’t let go
Reluctance of the day to end
I feel you’re falling
Sensing a sense of descent or emotional fall
Close your eyes my love
Encouraging a loved one to close their eyes
Leave the world behind
Encouraging detachment from worldly concerns
In your sleep the northern star
Associating sleep with the guidance of the North Star
Brings your dreams to life
Imagining dreams coming to life during sleep
Lay your head down to rest
Inviting rest by laying the head down
‘Till the birds start to sing
Waiting for the morning birds to sing
I will be here when the new day begins
Commitment to be present at the dawn of a new day
So you still can’t sleep
Continued difficulty in falling asleep
Want some honey milk
Suggesting remedies like honey milk for sleep
For the fairies some peas, apple pie and cheese
Mentioning whimsical offerings for mythical creatures
Or they won’t go to bed
Highlighting consequences if creatures stay awake
They’d turn poppy red
Describing the creatures' agitated state
Start screaming and jumping right on your head
Depicting chaotic and noisy consequences
You’re here in my arms
Reiteration of offering emotional support
The day won’t let go
Continued reluctance of the day to end
I feel you’re falling
Reiterating the sensation of falling
Close your eyes my love
Repeating the encouragement to close one's eyes
Leave the world behind
Emphasizing detachment from the external world
In your sleep the northern star
Reiteration of the guiding role of the North Star
Brings your dreams to life
Connecting sleep with the realization of dreams
Lay your head down to rest
Repeating the invitation to rest the head
‘Till the birds start to sing
Waiting for the start of a new day signaled by birds
I will be here when the new day begins
Renewed commitment to be present at dawn
I will be here when the new day begins
Reaffirmation of commitment to a new day
Close your eyes my love
Repeated encouragement to close one's eyes in sleep
Leave the world behind
Reiteration of detachment from worldly matters
In your sleep the northern star
Emphasizing the role of the North Star in dreams
Brings your dreams to life
Connecting sleep with the realization of dreams
Lay your head down to rest
Repeating the invitation to rest the head
‘Till the birds start to sing
Anticipation of birds signaling the new day
I will be here when the new day begins
Renewed commitment to be present at dawn
I will be here when the new day begins
Reaffirmation of commitment to a new day
I will be here when the new day begins
Final reaffirmation of commitment to a new day
