Rikki Lee Travolta - Hero's Lullaby lyrics

VERSE 1: Draft card days of long ago/little boys who don't want to go/say goodbye to families/give their lives across the seas/recent wars have brought out fears/domestic violence and children's tears/right or wrong love ones have pa**ed/dim the lights for the final dance CHORUS: And we lay them down to sleep/And we lay them down to die/we lay them down just one last time to a hero's lullaby VERSE 2: Rosa Parks must sit to fight/the seat below is reserved for white/M.L.K. and Kennedy give their lives for equality/black man yellow man red man white/everybody's got a cause that's right/the line has drawn but who's to blame?/A mother's tears are all the same CHORUS: So we lay them down to sleep/and we lay them down to die/we lay them down just one last time to hero's lullaby BRIDGE: So close your eyes to tomorrow/ your last stand was today/you're just another tallied casualty/a d**h without a name/not everybody will forgive you/not every child will regret/but somewhere there's a candle burning/not everyone will forget/ CHORUS: So we lay you down to sleep/and we lay you down to die/we lay you down just one last time to a hero's lullaby. ©Truth and Justice Entertainment
