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.
