Innocents

Sleep my innocent, let angels watch you as you lay
And while in slumber harm will never come your way

On your journey may you dream away to freedom
So rest until the dawn when angels are reborn

Ley a-lua ley, a-lua ley-o
Ley a-lua ley a-lua ley

Knowing eyes reflecting good in all they may behold
Should rest that they allow their beauty to unfold

Harrowed mind that knows the inhumanities of mankind
May rest until the dawn when Angels are reborn

Ley a-lua lеy, a-lua ley-o
Ley a-lua ley a-lua lеy

Veh az ha Elohim yishmor aleynu (then God will watch over us)
And while in slumber harm will never come your way

Ley a-lua ley, a-lua ley-o
Ley a-lua ley a-lua ley
