Sleep Child - Endless Blue

The dark men came to flood our streets

They came and took my brother

There was blood around but not a sound

We were searching for each other

Well there she shakes with silent sobs

She pulls me close into her

She sings a song, «It won’t be long»

Her words they couldn’t be truer

Hush child, my little girl

Close those brown eyes

Dream child, sweet little girl

Let go of all your sorrow

Breathe child, my sweet little child

Come dry those eyes

Breathe child, my sweet baby child

You’ll need your strength tomorrow

At night we walk and we sleep all day

So the dark men will not come here

It’s not cool enough and the floors are rough

And the smell of powder lingers

Mother’s here and she draws me near

Her warm hands always soothing

She pulls me up, her little girl

«Come on, we must get moving»

Hush child, my little girl

Close those brown eyes

Dream child, sweet little girl

Let go of all your sorrow

Breathe child, my sweet little child

Come dry those eyes

Breathe child, my sweet baby child

You’ll need your strength tomorrow

The end is near and our fate is clear

The dark men they have found me

I close my eyes, surprised to find relief

Not scared, I’m feeling nothing

The frightening sounds, intolerance

They can’t ignore this violence

My mothers song, yes they’ll know they’re wrong

Will finally end their silence

Hush child, my little girl

Close those brown eyes

Dream child, sweet little girl

Let go of all your sorrow

Breathe child, my sweet little child

Come dry those eyes

Breathe child, my sweet baby child

You’ll need your strength tomorrow

Hush child, my little child

Close those brown eyes

Dream child, sweet little girl

Let go of all your sorrow

My brave child, you’re my sweet little child

Come dry those eyes

Breathe child, my sweet baby child

You’ll need your strength tomorrow

The war goes on

All is said and done

The war goes on

The war goes on
