Endless Blue - Sleep Child lyrics

The dark men came to flood our streets They came and took my brother There was blood around but not a sound We were searching for each other Well there she shakes with silent sobs She pulls me close into her She sings a song, "It won't be long" Her words they couldn't be truer Hush child, my little girl Close those brown eyes Dream child, sweet little girl Let go of all your sorrow Breathe child, my sweet little child Come dry those eyes Breathe child, my sweet baby child You'll need your strength tomorrow At night we walk and we sleep all day So the dark men will not come here It's not cool enough and the floors are rough And the smell of powder lingers Mother's here and she draws me near Her warm hands always soothing She pulls me up, her little girl "Come on, we must get moving" Hush child, my little girl Close those brown eyes Dream child, sweet little girl Let go of all your sorrow Breathe child, my sweet little child Come dry those eyes Breathe child, my sweet baby child You'll need your strength tomorrow The end is near and our fate is clear The dark men they have found me I close my eyes, surprised to find relief Not scared, I'm feeling nothing The frightening sounds, intolerance They can't ignore this violence My mothers song, yes they'll know they're wrong Will finally end their silence Hush child, my little girl Close those brown eyes Dream child, sweet little girl Let go of all your sorrow Breathe child, my sweet little child Come dry those eyes Breathe child, my sweet baby child You'll need your strength tomorrow Hush child, my little child Close those brown eyes Dream child, sweet little girl Let go of all your sorrow My brave child, you're my sweet little child Come dry those eyes Breathe child, my sweet baby child You'll need your strength tomorrow The war goes on All is said and done The war goes on The war goes on
