Lullaby

Lullaby, adult and child
Sink into their rest
At sea the big ship sinks and dies
Lead at its breast

Lullaby, let nations rage
Let nations fall
The shadows of the crib
Makes an enormous cage upon the wall

Lullaby, seep on and on
The war is over soon
Drop that silly harmless toy
And pick up the moon

Lullaby, if they should say
You have no sense
Don’t you mind them
It won't make much difference

Lullaby, adult and child
Sink into their sleep
At sea the big ship sinks and dies
Lead its breast
