Innocents - Miriam Stockley

Sleep my innocent, let angels watch you as you lay

And while in slumber harm will never come your way

On your journey may you dream away to freedom

So rest until the dawn when angels are reborn

Ley a-lua ley, a-lua ley-o

Ley a-lua ley a-lua ley

Knowing eyes reflecting good in all they may behold

Should rest that they allow their beauty to unfold

Harrowed mind that knows the inhumanities of mankind

May rest until the dawn when Angels are reborn

Ley a-lua ly, a-lua ley-o

Ley a-lua ley a-lua ly

Veh az ha Elohim yishmor aleynu (then God will watch over us)

And while in slumber harm will never come your way

Ley a-lua ley, a-lua ley-o

Ley a-lua ley a-lua ley
