Verse:

B5             F#5
Little child, be not afraid

    E5           B5       E5
The rain pounds harshly against the glass

        Ab5
like an unwanted stranger

F#5
There is no danger,

E5
I am here tonight


B5             F#5
Little child, be not afraid,

       E5         B5          E5
though thunder explodes and lightning flash

Ab5
illuminates

     F#5
your tear-stained face

E5                  F#5
I am here tonight


Chorus:

                   B5
And someday you'll know

               E5
that nature is so

         Ab5                      F#5
the same rain that draws you near me

                    B5
falls on rivers and land,

               E5
on forests and sand

          Ab5                         F#5
makes the beautiful world that you'll see

       E5          B5       F#5      B5
in the morning



Verse:

B5             E5
Little child, be not afraid

       E5            B5         E5
though storm clouds mask your beloved moon

        Ab5
and its candlelight beams,

      F#5
still keep pleasant dreams

E5
I am here tonight


B5             F#5
Little child, be not afraid

       E5          B5         E5    
though wind makes creatures of our trees

          Ab5
and their branches to hands,

            F#5     
they're not real, understand

    E5                 F#5
and I am here tonight


Chorus:


                   B5
And someday you'll know

               E5
that nature is so

         Ab5                      F#5
the same rain that draws you near me

                    B5
falls on rivers and land,

               E5
on forests and sand

          Ab5                         F#5
makes the beautiful world that you'll see

       E5          B5       Ab5      F#5      B5
in the morning

E5
                     F#5
For you know, once even I was a..


Verse:

  B5                 F#5
..little child, and I was afraid

      E5      B5       E5
but a gentle someone always came

   Ab5                      F#5
to dry all my tears, switch sweet sleep for fears

       E5                     F#5
and to give a kiss goodnight


Chorus:

              B5
Well now I am grown

                     E5
and these years have shown

              Ab5              F#5
that rain's a part of how life goes

                       B5 
But it's dark and it's late

                     E5
so I'll hold you and wait

          Ab5                F#5
'til your frightened eyes do close

                       B5
And I hope that you'll know

               E5
that nature is so

         Ab5                      F#5
the same rain that draws you near me

                    B5
falls on rivers and land,

               E5
on forests and sand

          Ab5                         F#5
makes the beautiful world that you'll see

       E5
in the morning



B5                        E5
Everything's fine in the morning

    B5                      Ab5
The rain'll be gone in the morning,

    F#5                        B5
but I'll still be here in the morning
