Dream On, Brave Atticus” (A lullaby for an adventurous 8-year-old)

(Verse 1) Out on the trail where the tall trees sway, You ride your bike and chase the day. Kayaks glide where the rivers run, You shine so bright like the setting sun. (Chorus) Dream on, brave Atticus, under the sky, The stars are your lanterns as nighttime drifts by. With Hoss at your feet and Lync by your side, The mountains will wait till your next wild ride. (Verse 2) You’ve climbed up high and wandered far, You race the wind, you wish on stars. With Mom and Dad, and Rosie too, GiGi smiles when she thinks of you. (Chorus) Dream on, brave Atticus, the forest is still, The lake sings a song just over the hill. Your friends will be waiting, the sun will rise soon, But now close your eyes ‘neath the soft silver moon. (Bridge) You're strong and kind, you're wild and free, You’re everything a kid should be. The world is big, but your heart is wide, And we’re all so proud to be by your side. (Final Chorus) Dream on, brave Atticus, drift into peace, Let your worries and wonder gently release. We’ll hold you close till morning breaks through, Forever and always—we love you.
