Lullaby My Child

The colors of the sunset In a freshly painted sky I use as my palette To sing this lullaby Child, won't you hear me Child, don't you cry Just come a little near me And sing this lullaby I have combed the lonely ocean I have braved the raging sea For silver in the sand Just to bring it back to thee So child, won't you hear me Child, don't you cry Just come a little near me And sing this lullaby The treasures of the heavens In the mirrors of the mind The guiding grace of this pen To sing this lullaby So child, listen to me Child, won't you try To feel the love come through me To sing this lullaby I have climbed those crested mountains And the deserts made of flame With nought to soothe my cracked lips But the poultice of your name So child listen to me Child, won't you try To feel the love come through me To sing this lullaby The presence of potential As it shines between your eyes And slays that which prevents you From a sweet sound sleep tonight Child, don't you fear me Child, don't you fly Just praise my name sincerely And sing my lullaby We will tear through years of blindness And the prisons made of flesh Till the bars of our unkindness Have been shattered or been left And child, we will be free Child, we will fly As we praise our name sincerely And slip inside the night As we praise our name sincerely And sing our lullaby
