lyrics

War-Zone Lullaby

Tonight, he sends his tiny prayers
Drifting off to space
In case somebody's listening
His mother lying close to him
So he won't be afraid
Pretending she is sleeping

And all across the blackened town
There's firecracker sounds
And distant muffled wailing
And every night this symphony
Floats into his window
And he listens to its lullaby

Sleep, my child, the gunfire sings
Go to sleep, the canons ring
Tonight the bombs fall far away
And the morning brings a brand-new day
