I will not seek fame or glory
Surely I would fail
I will look for a bedtime story
An everlasting tale
I want it close at hand
Right beside my bed
To better understand
Every time it's read
The last thing that I hold
Kneel down and pray
The last thing that I touch
Before I drift away
I'll faithfully come home
I'll come home again
Every time I'm gone
To find out how it ends
Will you be my tale
The one that shapes my dreams
Lift me when I fail
Be my center beam
Be my bedtime story
Help me sow and reap
Be my bedtime story
Till I fall asleep
