The colors of the sunset
In a freshly painted sky
I use as my palette
To sing this lullaby
Child, won't you hear me
Child, don't you cry
Just come a little near me
And sing this lullaby
I have combed the lonely ocean
I have braved the raging sea
For silver in the sand
Just to bring it back to thee
So child, won't you hear me
Child, don't you cry
Just come a little near me
And sing this lullaby
The treasures of the heavens
In the mirrors of the mind
The guiding grace of this pen
To sing this lullaby
So child, listen to me
Child, won't you try
To feel the love come through me
To sing this lullaby
I have climbed those crested mountains
And the deserts made of flame
With nought to soothe my cracked lips
But the poultice of your name
So child listen to me
Child, won't you try
To feel the love come through me
To sing this lullaby
The presence of potential
As it shines between your eyes
And slays that which prevents you
From a sweet sound sleep tonight
Child, don't you fear me
Child, don't you fly
Just praise my name sincerely
And sing my lullaby
We will tear through years of blindness
And the prisons made of flesh
Till the bars of our unkindness
Have been shattered or been left
And child, we will be free
Child, we will fly
As we praise our name sincerely
And slip inside the night
As we praise our name sincerely
And sing our lullaby
