The song lyrics describe a sleeping child who has built their own peaceful paradise, untouched by the world's conflicts and problems. The singer promises to watch over and protect the sleeping child from the world's harshness, covering them as they sleep so their innocence can remain untouched by the "world so wild". If others had the child's peaceful mindset, there would be no more fighting or wars according to the lyrics.
