Little girl from Roots by Rolf Eikeland

Late at night praying in my pillow
Thinking ‘bout my little girl next door
I can not go to sleep
Wondering what your future holds
This path’s narrow and steep
And will you go

This world will both
Dazzle and amaze you
You will see much beauty and much pain
You may get it all
Handed on a silver platter
Or you may heed a call
And walk away

Little girl lay down your head
Dream softly
Drift slowly
In your bed
Everything is like we read
It’s all true
Waiting for you
Up ahead

And when you leave this home
To live your own life
We will do our best to let you go
Live and love and play
Seek what’s good and do what’s right
Stop at each crossway
And pray

Little girl lay down your head
Dream softly
Drift slowly
In your bed
Everything is like we read
It’s all true
Waiting for you
Up ahead

Oh, life can be so good
Ah, take it in and live it up
And in days of trouble, days of loss
Look up

Remember we are only passing through
Sailing the third planet from the sun
Where all is by design
Where no two snow flakes
Are the same
Where nature’s laws align
In God

Little girl lay down your head
Dream softly
Drift slowly
In your bed
Everything is like we read
It’s all true
Waiting for you
Up ahead
