Sleeping Child Lyrics

The Milky Way upon the heavens Is twinkling just for you And Mr. Moon, he came by To say goodnight to you
I'll sing for you, I'll sing for mother We're praying for the world And for the people everywhere Gonna show them all we care
Oh, my sleeping child the world's so wild But you've built your own paradise That's one reason why I'll cover you, sleeping child
If all the people around the world They had a mind like yours We'd have no fighting and no wars There would be lasting peace on Earth
If all the kings and all the leaders Could see you here this way They would hold the Earth in their arms They would learn to watch you play
Oh, my sleeping child the world's so wild But you've built your own paradise That's one reason why I'll cover you, sleeping child
I'm gonna cover my sleeping child Keep you away from the world so wild Keep you away from the world Away from the world so wild
Oh, my sleeping child the world's so wild But you've built your own paradise That's one reason why I'll cover you, sleeping child
Oh, my sleeping child the world's so wild But you've built your own paradise That's one reason why I'll cover you, sleeping child
