Lullaby - For My Brother

sleep well, my little child, sleep without sorrow
look to the stars, don't fear the shade
maybe tonight will bring a new tomorrow
but sleep, my child, don't be afraid

sleep well, my little child, and dream
dream of hope and love and grace
times are better than they seem
on day, the world will be a better place

sleep well, my little child, sleep without fear
i hold your hand and watch your sleep tonight
i will be near i will stay here
until the morning's light

sleep well, my little child, don't be afraid, i'll stay
until moon goes to bed and sun brings a new day.
