That's what you do when the curtain is falling- you give the line that the audience wants to hear.

Rest comes easy when you’re wide awake

And when you’re ready to rest you can’t close your eyes

Why do you weep, little one, when you’re warm and safe?

Why don’t you weep for the ones who have been lost to time?

Do you think of the future

Wonder what you may become

Or do you ponder over the past

And what has already come and gone

Clear your mind and close your eyes

Don’t let fear take over in these times

I’ll hold you close throughout the night

I’ll keep you safe ‘till morning light
