Lullaby

I’d like to sing to you a lullaby To make all your troubles disappear Tell you there is no need to cry That you will never know hate or fear But I must tell you about the boy in class With a gun tucked in his backpack And how life can be taken in a flash And some mistakes can’t be taken back I would like to tell you a Fairy Tale Of how friendships made will never end And true love will always prevail A world where evil will never win But I have a different story to tell About the maniac with a bomb in his car Planned his action far too well And left the shopping mall a lifeless char I would like to hold you in my arms To place a kiss upon your brow Tell you I will keep you safe from harm And always be there for you somehow But a different song of fate I must sing Not “Hush Little Baby, Don’t say a Word” ‘Cause the world is filled with monstrous things With boiling blood and hatred stirred So sleep tonight under a peaceful sky Let tomorrow bring what may I can only promise you that I will try To keep all the monsters away
