The Milky Way
upon the heavens
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
We're praying for
the world
and for the people
every here
We gonna show
them all we care
Oh my sleeping child
the world's so wild
But you've built
your own paradise
That's one reason
why I'll cover you
sleeping child
These all the people
around the world
they had mind
like yours
We 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 cline to
watch you play
Oh my sleeping child
the world s so wild
But you ve built
your own paradise
That s one reason
why I ll cover you
sleeping child
I'm gonna cover you
my sleeping child
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 ve built
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 ve built
your own paradise
That s one reason
why I ll cover you
sleeping child
