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
The milky way
upon the heaven
Is twinkling just for you
And Mr moon he came by
To say good night to you
I'll sing for you
I'll sing for mother
Praying for the world
And for the people every where
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
I'm gonna cover
my sleeping child
Keep you away from
the world so wild
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
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
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
