Lyrics A Lullaby - Audra McDonald
Sleep,
child,
lie
quiet,
let
be
Now
like
a
still
wind,
a
great
tree
Night
upon
this
city
moves
Like
leaves,
our
hungers
and
our
loves
Sleep
Sleep,
rest
easy,
while
you
may
Soon
it
is
day
Soon
it
is
day
And
elsewhere
likewise
love
is
stirred
Elsewhere
the
speechless
song
is
heard
Wherever
children
sleep
or
wake
Souls
are
lifted,
hearts
break
Sleep
Sleep,
be
careless
while
you
can
Soon
you
are
man
Soon
you
are
man
And
everywhere
good
men
contrive
Good
reasons
not
to
be
alive
And
even
should
they
build
their
best
No
man
could
bear
tell
you
the
rest
Sleep
Sleep
child,
for
your
parents'
sake
Soon
you
must
wake
Soon
you
must
wake
Soon
you
must
wake
