~X~X~X~X~X~X~

Sleep, my child, / rest your head, / be not scared; / I am here.

All is calm, / there’s no pain; / hold my hand, / dry those tears.

Mama’s here, / have no fear— / I will guard you 

From all of your pain that grieves you, / any hurting I can and will

Subdue. / For you.

Be at ease and rest your aching heart / for this grief shall soon depart.

How could you have known / that you’d be left alone?

Have no fear; / I am here now.

Notes:

I listened to sheet music for Six's music box to best time my lyrics; you can see it in the slashes. Then I listened to a looped Lost in Transmission track, as it appears in-game, to slightly modify the timing.
