⸻ Verse 1 D Close your eyes, my little star, A The night’s not half as dark as it seems, Bm The world can shout and clash its steel, G A But it cannot touch your dreams. D The wind may howl beyond these walls, A And kings may rise and fall apart, Bm But here inside these steady hands, G A D You are safe, my heart. ⸻ Chorus G D Sleep now, brave tomorrow, A Bm Let your small hands rest, G D You don’t have to fight tonight, A D You don’t have to be your best. G D The world can wait till morning light, A Bm Let the silence hum, G D No matter what this life may bring, A D You’ll always be my son. ⸻ Verse 2 D They’ll talk someday of blood and lines, A Of what you are and aren’t, Bm But stars don’t ask the sky for space, G A They burn because they want. D You’re not half of anything, A You’re whole in ways they’ll learn, Bm And if they ever doubt your light, G A D Just let your music burn. ⸻ Bridge (softer, almost whispered) Bm If I should march where you can’t follow, G And leave before you’re grown, D Know every chord I ever played A Was building you a home. Bm And when the quiet feels too wide, G And you don’t know what to do, D Listen close between your breaths— A I’ll still be there with you. ⸻ Final Chorus (gentle, slower) G D Sleep now, my bright tomorrow, A Bm Let the long day end, G D You don’t have to earn my love, A D You already win. G D The world may judge and twist and turn, A Bm But that won’t change what’s true, G D If I leave one song behind, A D It’s you.
