JJ Heller's 'Keep You Safe' is a tender lullaby that reassures a child of protection and love. The song speaks of staying awake to guard against fears and monsters, and promises safety. It acknowledges that the child will face battles later in life, but encourages them to remember the enduring promise of love and safety. The lyrics convey a sense of comfort and security, drawing on the imagery of light dispelling fear. While not explicitly religious, the themes of protection, love, and a promise to keep safe can resonate with Christian ideas of God's care and faithfulness.

Quiet your heart
It's just a dream
Go back to sleep
I'll be right here
I'll stay awake as long as you need me
To slay all the dragons
And keep out the monsters
I'm watching over you
My love is a light
Driving away all of your fear
So don't be afraid
Remember I made a promise to keep you safe
You'll have your own battles to fight
When you are older
You'll find yourself frozen inside
But always remember
If you feel alone
Facing the giants
And you don't know
What to do
My love is a light
Driving away all of your fear
So don't be afraid
Remember I made a promise to keep you safe
