Under the Low Branches
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
Shadows are sliding soft across your little sleeping hood
Branches are bending low to keep you shaded and unseen
Nothing can find you here, nothing unkind or understood
Rest now beneath the oak where all the world stays green

[Chorus]
Mohammad, close your eyes, the dark is only resting light
Somewhere a promise waits to keep you warm and safe tonight
Mohammad, hear my voice, it never wanders far from you
Nothing will wake you now, the night has nothing left to do

[Verse 2]
Leaves are painting patterns slow across the fabric where you lie
Every little flicker is a hand that smooths away a sigh
Sleep pulls softly like a tide that never wants to say goodbye
Stars are only waiting for the moment you decide to fly

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the branches keep their quiet watch above your head
Let the shifting shadows hum you gently towards your bed
Something warm is holding you before a word is even said

[Chorus]
Mohammad, close your eyes, the dark is only resting light
Somewhere a promise waits to keep you warm and safe tonight
Mohammad, hear my voice, it never wanders far from you
Nothing will wake you now, the night has nothing left to do

[Bridge]
Even when I'm quiet, I am steady here beside your rest
Every breath you take is something gentle, something blessed

[Chorus]
Mohammad, close your eyes, the dark is only resting light
Somewhere a promise waits to keep you warm and safe tonight
Mohammad, hear my voice, it never wanders far from you
Nothing will wake you now, the night has nothing left to do

[Outro]
Sleep now beneath the branches where the shadows softly creep
You are held by something steady, drifting safely into sleep
