Lullaby By Phil Coulter.

Go to sleep, my little soldier, now I've heard you say your prayers And I've listened as you told Him your troubles and your cares Don't you worry 'bout the sorrow that you see in Daddy's eyes Got to sleep until tomorrow and I'll sing this lullaby. Chorus: Hush, hushabye, baby of mine Hush, and tomorrow 'twill all turn out fine. First you told Him of the soldiers that you shout at every day Saying please help me not to hate them but I wish they'd go away Then you asked Him to forgive them though you didn't quite know why Sleep in peace until tomorrow and I'll sing this lullaby. (Repeat chorus) Then you prayed for all the people who'd been bombed or been shot down Asking when will it be over, when will peace come to our town? Son, I wish I knew the answers like I knew the reasons why So dream on until tomorrow and I'll sing this lullaby. (Repeat chorus) Dream about a new tomorrow when we finally count the cost Of the words already spoken, of the lives already lost When we've learned to live together though we don't see eye to eye Dream about that new tomorrow and I'll sing this lullaby. Hush, hushabye, baby of mine Hush, for tomorrow the sun's gonna shine.
