Sleeping Child

The Milky Way upon the heavens
is twinkling just for you
and mr. Moon he came by
to say goodnight to you
IŽll sing for you IŽll sing for mother
weŽre praing for the world
and for the people everywhere
gonna show them all we care

Oh my sleeping child the worldŽs so wild
but youŽve build your own paradise
ThatŽs one reason why IŽll cover you sleeping child

If all the people around the world
they had a mind like yours
weŽd 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 worldŽs so wild
but youŽve build your own paradise
ThatŽs one reason why IŽll cover you sleeping child

IŽm gonna cover my sleeping child
Keep you away from the world so wild
