Hush

Hush little child, 
Don't say a word, 
You'll be okay, 
Safe in the herd. 

Hush little child, 
Hold you close, 
Mom's here, 
I love you most. 

Hush little child, 
Please don't cry, 
Momma's gonna 
Sing you a lullaby. 

Hush little baby,
You'll be free, 
Momma's going 
To show you a melody. 

Hush little baby, 
I'll always be here. 
Though we're apart, 
I'll be near. 

Hush little baby, 
It's alright, 
You're in better hands, 
I'll see you another night.
