Wartime Children (Wake No More) [song]

32 3 6
                                    

In the distance, rolling like thunder

hearts beat, drumming up the storm

Peace, little one, dream of peace tonight

tomorrow will come

Close your eyes, no more light

tomorrow will come

Thoughts rage, a tempest in the mind

Voices cry out, raising the storm higher

Peace, little one, dream of peace tonight

tomorrow will come

Breathe, and sing a song so bright

tomorrow will come

Brothers before brothers, a sister or two

A sea of faces, eyes alive with fear

Peace, little one, dream of peace tonight

tomorrow will come

Be still, little one, be still this night

tomorrow will come

Fallen to dust, ashes and dust

Thunder quiets and with the wind, departs

A thousand voices, whispers of memory

and in the sea of silence, a thousand broken hearts

Peace, little one, dream of peace tonight

Sleep, little one, doesn't sleep cure all?

Wake no more, no sight, no sound

absence of touch, absence of pain

Dream of peace tonight, little one

And wake no more
