Lyrics
All is Well
Rest your head and close your eyes (all is well)
While I sing a lullabye (all is well)
And if you wake before the light, I'll be close at hand.
Say your prayers and say goodnight.
All is well.
When you've grown, remember yet - all is well.
With children of your own I bet. All is well.
And if you face a rising tide and shifting sands of fate,
Say a prayer and take it in stride.
All is well.
All is well, all is well, more than these simple words can tell.
All is well, all is well, lay down your burden,
All is well.
Rest your head and close your eyes as the sun goes down.
I will help you say goodbye this time around
And if you're feeling lost like me, still in my heart you're found.
I will see you again, my love
Safe and sound
All is well, all is well, more than these simple words can tell.
All is well, all is well, lay down your burden,
Lay down your burden, lay down your burden,
All is well.
