Sleep child of mine, sleep Wrapped up in dream and hope When first you smiled at me I learned the size of love Sleep child of mine sleep You’re almost a dream yourself You’ll grow to spin illusion And teach people to hope Sleep child of mine, sleep Upon the wave of a dream Upon the weave of a sigh Sleep child of mine, sleep The snake’s path is hard It is so high and so low Your power seems so small But it will move the world Sleep child of mine sleep Tomorrow the sun will rise Tomorrow the world will call Sleep child sleep While your dreams are still small Tomorrow the dream will call And yet you’ll know the truth Sleep my child sleep When your power all arrives You’ll be all magic and power But now you’re yet small Sleep yet for an hour Sleep my child sleep Here, so safe in my arms Would I had the strength To ever keep you from harm Sleep my child sleep Sleep my child sleep
