Rest Now, Hamza
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
The little wheels have stopped their turning, quiet fills the air
and you are still, your breathing slower than the ride
the small bright bars have gone to stillness everywhere
and I am here to keep you safe and warm inside

[Pre-chorus]
The whole wide day is folding softly out of view
every sound has settled low and turned to grey
so let the hush come closer now and hold onto you

[Chorus]
Hamza, close your eyes, the night is wide and gentle
nothing here can touch you, nothing needs to start
Hamza, you are held in something quiet and parental
sleep is just another word for resting near my heart

[Verse 2]
You rode so far today on roads that only you could see
holding tight to handles that would never let you fall
now the journey folds itself and settles into me
and the dark outside is smaller than it seemed at all

[Bridge]
Wherever you have travelled, you will always land back here
safe inside the quiet where the ones who love you stay

[Chorus]
Hamza, close your eyes, the night is wide and gentle
nothing here can touch you, nothing needs to start
Hamza, you are held in something quiet and parental
sleep is just another word for resting near my heart

[Outro]
The little wheels are resting now, so still against the floor
and you can rest the same way, needing nothing more
