Original Lyrics:

I was told
when I was young.
"Don't give up, darling
and don't give in."
I was old
when I was still young.
"You can achieve
anything you believe in."

"Always try
to put a smile
on your face
instead of a frown."
"Keep your head
up high
'cause life will try
to get you down."

My dad would hold me
as I drifted to sleep.
My mother by my bedside,
please pray with me just one last time
and hold me
as I drift to sleep.
Drift to sleep.

I was told
when I was young,
"Everything that you need
can be found within."
I was old
when I was still young.
An ancient soul
within the body I'm living in.

The stars,
so far away,
seemed closer when you laid there with me.
We stared up,
so far away,
please lay there one last time with me.

My dad would hold me
as I drifted to sleep.
My mother by my bedside,
please pray with me just one last time
and hold me
as I drift to sleep.
Drift to sleep.
