I do NOT own the first two verses and the chorus. Those were written by Suzanne Collins and are in The Hunger Games. Only the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth verses were written by me.
Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes
And when again it's morning, the sun will rise.
Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
Forget your woes, and let your troubles lay
And when again it's morning, they'll wash away.
Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet, and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.
Deep in the meadow, down by the river
A chorus of songbirds, calling you hither
Rest in peace and quiet; no need to be blue
And when again the shadows rise, you'll be happy too.
Deep in the meadow, shrouded from sight
A dark blue sky, the glow of starlight
Sleep in my arms; I'll stay with you tonight
And when again I wake you, it will be morning light.
Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet, and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.
Deep in the meadow, below the morning sky
A bank of wildflowers, the wind's soft sigh
Wake to the freedom of a world anew
And while you stay here, it will be true.
Deep in the meadow, looking from afar
Miles from here, the place where now we are
Follow your dreams; wish upon a star
And maybe tomorrow, the meadow won't be far.
Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet, and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.
