My Little Ones
Go to sleep my little ones
Go to sleep the day is done
You’ve played your games
And you’ve had your fun
Go to sleep my little ones
Dream of the things you’ve learned today
Of birds on the wing
And those who say:
“You must not think or act that way”
Dream of the things you’ve learned today
Dancing in dreams the young ones play
Dreaming up schemes to save the day
For every evil under the sun
There is a cure or there is none
Children I want to know
How the truth is known
Children I want to know
Where you’ve gone
To fly with birds to trees
And know the days are one
Children I want to know
Can I come?
Go to sleep my little ones
Go to sleep the day is done
You’ve played your games
And you’ve had your fun
Go to sleep my little ones
