Verse
I know
I shall be strong for you
And never let you down
You deserve a bed of roses
And a golden, shimmering crown
And if I could I would give you
Everything you need
I'd move mountains for you
But sometimes I'm too weak
And sometimes...
Chorus
I just need to rest my head
Warm and safe in your lap
And the world just doesn't seem so sad
With your hand on my head
I can stand up against all bad forces
Fight for the right, find right courses
I can sing you to sleep in your bed
With your hand on my head
Verse
I feel like I'm only half the man
I used to be
And I wish it would be easy
Just like counting one, two, three
I feel like the world falls down
The world falls down on me
And like there is a heavy cloud
Above me, I can't see
Chorus
I just need to rest my head
Warm and safe in your lap
And the world just doesn't seem so sad
With your hand on my head
I can stand up against all bad forces
Fight for the right, find right courses
I can sing you to sleep in your bed
With your hand on my head
Bridge
And I will never stop to give all I can give
And with you here, I'm sure I must never relive
All the dark days that, I hope, will soon disappear
And it's much easier with you being here
Chorus
I just need to rest my head
Warm and safe in your lap
And the world just doesn't seem so sad
With your hand on my head
And I really believe you'll save me
From all the fears from that I flee
And all the pain, oh, that I feel
And I finally stop to reel
Just by resting my head
Warm and safe in your lap
And the world just doesn't seem so sad
With your hand on my head
I can stand up against all bad forces
Fight for the right, find right courses
I can sing you to sleep in your bed
With your hand on my head
