You don’t have to work so hard

You are not alone

I will always be with you

Even to the end

You don’t have to work so hard

You can rest easy

You don’t have to prove yourself

You’re already mine

You don’t have to hide your heart

I already love you

I hold it in mine

So you can rest easy

 

Do not be afraid

Nothing, nothing in the world

Can come between us now

 

You don’t have to work so hard

You can rest easy

You don’t have to prove yourself

You’re already mine
