Drifting through the cosmos they enfold you

The stars are like a billion flakes of snow

A tiny melody within without you

Now it seems it's time for you to go

Go now honey we'll see you later

Don't be frightened by the world

Earthquakes, murders and alligators

They can't hurt our little girl

Don't be frightened by the world

Your mama did the best she could to raise you

But she was just too young, still running wild

Alcohol and motel rooms and strange men

The judge said it was no place for a child

Go now honey we'll see you later

Don't be frightened by the world

Earthquakes, murders and alligators

They can't hurt our little girl

Don't be frightened by the world
