Lyrics[]
Say your prayers little one
Don't forget my son
To include everyone
I tuck you in
Walk within
Keep you free from sin
'Til the sandman he comes
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never-land
Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of Snow White
Dreams of war
Dreams of liars
Dreams of dragons fire
And of things that will bite, yeah
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never-land
(Whisper)
Now I lay me down to sleep (x2)
Pray the lord my soul to keep (x2)
If I die before I wake (x2)
Pray the lord my soul to take (x2)
Hush little baby don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet and in your head
Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand
Exit light
Enter Night
Take my hand!
We're off to never never-land
Yeah, ha ha ha
Boom
Yeah, yeah
Oh, whoa
We're off to never never-land
Take my hand
We're off to never never-land
Take my hand
We're off to never never-land
We're off to never never-land
