Anti-War Lullaby

You ask me why we go to war

What am I supposed to say?

Most of us want to live in peace

But we struggle to do it with ease

Don't cry, baby

Please don't cry

Don't cry, baby

Please don't cry

Truth is I don't have an answer

I was born in the right time and place

But I know that you're frightened

Of the pain you imagine it brings

Don't cry, baby

Please don't cry

Don't cry, baby

Please don't cry

So put your head on my shoulder

While I wipe the tears off your cheeks

I can't protect you forever

But tonight I can rock you to sleep

Don't cry, baby

Please don't cry

Don't cry, baby

Please don't cry

Please don't cry

Please don't cry
