This song came to me one day while driving home, so the tones were being felt out as I sought each part. I was thinking of someone I loved, and singing this for them – to be shared with future generations as a lullaby.

Come Away With Me, By Athena Stairs
Close your eyes and dream of better things
Close your eyes and find your inner wings
Soar among the stars, follow where your heart carries you
Soar among the stars, don’t be afraid to own your truth
Come away with me to where you want to be
Come away with me, I’ll be there gladly with you
Come away with me, my darling do
Come away with me, I love you
Fly among the stars with me
Seek for where your soul is free
Do not fear what you see around you
Trust what’s inside to guide you
Come away with me, up above the world
Come away with me – you do not need to fear
All that really matters is that we’re here together
Know that where you are, I’m always near
Sleep…sleep and rest your heart
Sleep…we are not far apart
Lay your worries down upon the soft pillow
They will be there if you choose, tomorrow
Come away with me – where the leaves are falling
And the birds are calling you home to me
Come away with me…I love you
And that’s all you need to know
