The Milky Way,
up on the heavens,
is twinkling just for you
And Mr.
Moon,
he came by
to say goodnight to you
I'll sing for you,
I'll sing for Mother We're praying for the world
for the people everywhere gonna show them all we care
oh my sleeping child
the world's so wild but you build your own
paradise that's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child
If all the people around the world
They had a mind like yours
We'd 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 world's so wild but you build your own paradise.
That's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child
Cover my child I'm gonna
cover my sleeping child
Keep you away Keep you away from the world so wild
Away from the world so wild
Oh my sleeping child
The world's so wild
But you built your own
Paradise,
that's one reason why
I'll cover you,
sleeping child You built your own
Oh my sleeping child,
the world's so wild but you built your own
Paradise,
that's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child
