My Broken Boy*
(Misato to Shinji)

Sleep my broken boy.
Lay your head upon my shoulder.
Let me hold you close
While you fall apart.

Sleep my broken boy.
Close your weary eyes, already so old,
And dream of the happiness
You have never known.

There will soon come days
When I will not be here
To help you find your courage
To fight your fears.

So sleep my broken boy.
For the morning soon will come
And that which has broken you
Must once again be done.
