Lullaby 101

Sleep you little soldier boy, with your ear against the wall

You have held that rifle all your life, now it's time to let it fall

Sleep you little alibi, with your reasons in a row

You have turned in circles all your life just so your shadow wouldn't show

Dream with me, dream with me, we'll wake in better days

And we'll build a boat and we'll hope that it floats

And then we'll sail, we'll sail away

Sleep you little resume, with your head above the crowd

You have held your breath in all your life just to make somebody proud

Sleep you little reservoir, let your banks just overflow

You can't contain all of that rain; you're gonna have to let it go

Dream with me, dream with me, we'll wake in better light

And until we rise with open eyes, goodnight, my love, goodnight

Yes until some sun wakes everyone, goodnight, my love, goodnight
