Текст песни Irene

Hush, little baby, don't you cry,
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby,
Everything's gonna be alright,
The Lord's gonna answer your prayers tonight.
Hush little baby, don't you cry,
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby,
Everything's gonna be alright,
The Lord's gonna answer your prayers..

Last night you had dream you was the homecoming queen,
Today your 18, Happy Birthday, Irene
Quit school you had to drop out to raise your little child
(Doesn't seem to be anyone around)
You got to reach up to touch rock bottom,
The powers that be keep you downtrodden,
Daughter of Zion, I heard your prayers,
Just cast your cares and
Please beware of snakes,
They come in all shapes and sizes
Tempt you, put scales on your eyelids,
Don't waste your sorrows,
They'll give you strength for tomorrow,
Your Calvary's about to come so
Keep your head up, don't you ever let up
This storm will pass you be ready for the next one

[Chorus:]
Hey little girl with the pressures of the world on your shoulders,
Don't say that it's over,
I heard your prayers,
Just cast your cares
And I'll be there, so don't you fear
I said Hey little girl with pressures of the world on your shoulders,
Don't say that it's over,
I heard your prayers,
Just cast your cares
And I'll be there, so don't you fear

Hush little baby, don't you cry,
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby,
Everything's gonna be alright,
The Lord's gonna answer your prayers tonight

Everything's gonna be alright,

Irene, I carried you when you was too weak to walk,
I took to you when you gave your heart to God
Faithful and True, that's what I'll always be to you
Believe in you, believe in me, and these mountains have to move,
You have dreams and aspirations,
I knew you before creation
Your foundation's solid,I will build you a palace,
Restore your soul
You'll be up for any challenge,
Many storms are on the way, better sharpen you faith,
Count the cost, take up your cross and wear it everyday
Rest in me and I will give you strength,
Blessed is she, Irene, who seeks my face

[Chorus]

Hush little baby, don't you cry,
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby,
Everything's gonna be alright,
The Lord's gonna answer your prayers tonight
Hush little baby, don't you cry,
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby,
Everything's gonna be alright,
The Lord's gonna answer your prayers tonight
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright be alright be alright
