Enter Sandman

Say your prayers, Little One
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone
Padme stood over her infant son, weeping silently. She would be handing him over to the Jedi master, Obi-wan Kenobi, tomorrow to hide the babe from his father. His father, the former Anakin Skywalker, wanted him dead. Padme's son, Luke- this infant boy- would be the downfall of the evil that was uprising. It had been foreseen.
Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the Sandman comes
Padme leaned forward and tucked the yellow blankets in around Luke. The weeping, the rivers of her eyes, would not still. Yet, she refused to sob. She refused to disturb her son's peaceful sleep. /Be Safe/, she thought.
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
/Anakin is now Darth Vader/, Padme thought, and he will stop at nothing to either turn Luke to the Dark Side of the Force...or kill him.
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land
Obi-wan entered the room.
"What is it that you want, Master Jedi?" she snapped at him.
"You are tired, Padme, and this is hard for you. You will have some more time to say goodbye to him in the morning. Rest now," he replied.
She nodded, bent and kissed her son's forehead, and left without another word to the Jedi.
Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of Snow White
/Nightmares are in my thoughts tonight/, she thought as she climbed into bed.
I wonder what he will dream of, if he should ever discover the truth?

Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite

Be safe...

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Don't fall to the Dark Side...

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land

He'll kill Luke...his own son...even as little as he is now...

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
Padme sat straight up in her bed. What if he found him? Before Luke was old enough to defend himself?
Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beast under your bed
In your closet, in your head

Oh God...

Exit light
Enter Night
Grain of Sand
