Hush little baby, don't you cry,

Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby,

Everythings gonna be alright,

The Lord's gonna answer your prayers tonight.

Hush little baby, don't you cry,

Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby,

Everythings gonna be alright,

The Lords gonna answer your prayers..

Last night you had dream you was the homecoming queen

Today your 18, Happy Birthday Irene

Quit school you had to drop out to raise your little child

(doesn't seem to be anyone around)

You got to reach up to touch rock bottom

The powers that be keep you downtrodden

Daughter of Zion, I heard your prayers

Just cast your cares and

Please beware of snakes

They come in all shapes and sizes

Tempt you, put scales on your eyelids

Don't waste your sorrows

They'll give you strength for tomorrow

Your Calvary's about to come so

Keep your head up, Don't you ever let up

This storm will pass you be ready for the next one

Hey little girl with the pressures of the world on your shoulders

Don't say that its over

I heard your prayers

Just cast your cares

And I'll be there, so don't you fear

I said Hey little girl with pressures of the world on your shoulders

Don't say that its over

I heard your prayers

Just cast your cares

And I'll be there, so don't you fear

Hush little baby, don't you cry,

Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby,

Everythings gonna be alright,

The Lords gonna answer your prayers tonight

Hush little baby, don't you cry,

Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby,

Everything's gonna be alright,

The Lords gonna answer your prayers tonight

Irene I carried you when you was too weak to walk

I took to you when you gave your heart to God

Faithful and True, that's what I'll always be to you

Believe in you, Believe in Me, and these mountains have to move

You have dreams and aspirations

I knew you before creation

Your foundations solid,I will build you a palace,

restore your soul

You'll be up for any challenge,

Many storms are on the way better sharpen you faith,

Count the cost, take up your cross and wear it everyday

Rest in Me and I will give you strength

Blessed is she, Irene who seeks my face

Hey little girl with the pressures of the world on your shoulders

Don't say that its over

I heard your prayers

Just cast your cares

And I'll be there, so don't you fear

I said Hey little girl with pressures of the world on your shoulders

Don't say that its over

I heard your prayers

Just cast your cares

And I'll be there, so don't you fear

Hush little baby, don't you cry,

Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby,

Everythings gonna be alright,

The Lords gonna answer your prayers tonight

Hush little baby, don't you cry,

Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby,

Everything's gonna be alright,

The Lords gonna answer your prayers tonight

Everythings gonna be alright

Everythings gonna be alright

Everythings gonna be alright be alright be alright

Father I'm stronger I said

Father I'm stronger I said

Father I'm stronger then when I first believed yea...

Father I'm stronger I said

Father I'm stronger I said

Father I'm stronger then when I first believed yea...

Hey little girl with the pressures of the world on your shoulders

Don't say that its over
