The Orphanage
From The Cradle To The Grave
Part of my life, from the cradle to the grave, for better for worse
I feel a sign of life inside of me
The tender movements force to make me see
And then I realize. You will be my demise
Waiting for months, prepare for what will be
I'll guide you through your life and make you see
I am your guard. All you'd be I have at heart
You'll learn the world to know. It won't be easy to watch you grow
Part of my life, from the cradle to the grave, for better for worse
Part of my life. You make me feel strong
Cause here with us is where you belong
For better for worse to bring you near
I'd give my life to end your fear
There'll be a time for pride, a time for shame
But in my heart you'll always stay the same
And still I'd realize, you're in this world of lies
I pray for your health. I fold my hands
A whispering voice that reassures me
Clouds packing. The earth is rumbling low
Calls of nature around the sky they flow
Terrifying heat and shivering cold
Our minds melt together like it's doomsday
You are not alone, so have no fear
I know that I'd give my life away!
In times of sorrow, in times of grief
There's no need for looking
You just wait for your relief
In times of sorrow. You kneel down and you pray
There's no need for fighting
Our instincts will lead the way
Don't fear!
Through the leaves the cold wind whispers
Sparkling thin rays of moonlight
My arms will keep you warm
So close your eyes. I'll be near you
Sleep... sweet... dreams...
