My Little Ones Lyrics

I was a child well protected
Afraid to stray too far
Afraid to leave the ones
Who dried my tears
Too much the dreamer
There's a world I kept inside
A place to run and hide
From all my fears

I still hear my father say
That thunder in the night
Was only a storm that blows
Away by morning light

And he said, my little ones, just hold My hand
There's so much you don't understand
The world outside's a scary place
Someday you'll meet it face to face
But little one, don't grow too fast
I like to see this moment last forever

My dad lives on in all my children
And though I try to teach them well
It's getting hard to tell who's learning more
I am their son, they are my father
Out into the world they go
But I can only show them to the door
I wish I could be there
As they traveled through the night
There's many more ways for them To go than wrong or right

But listen, my little ones, just hold my hand
There's so much you don't Understand
The world outside's a scary place
Someday you'll meet it face to face
My little ones, don't grow too fast
I like to see this moment last forever

I'll still hear my father say
That thunder in the night
Was only a storm that blows
Away by morning light

And he said, my little one, just hold my hand
There's so much you don't understand
The world outside's a scary place
Someday you'll meet it face to face
But little one, don't grow too fast
I like to see this moment last
My little ones don't be afraid
These fears inside are also made
My little ones, just hold my hand
My little ones, just hold my hand
My little ones, my little ones
My little ones, my little ones...
