Van Gogh’s “The Starry Night”

Little boy
You need not fear
If no one’s there
Know
I’ll be there for you,
To hold your trembling hand,
With you.

Little boy
Know you’re brave
You can move mountains
If you believe in yourself.
Little boy, just keep your faith.

Little boy
Step back from the white wall
That marks the edge of the abyss
The starry night’s there for you
Til you achieve your dream.

Little boy
You need not fear
I’ll be there for you
When you go to sleep.

Little boy
Rise up from the ashes
Of your past
Go again
Win back what is yours.
