I see a little baby in his crib, his bib’s been put away
The bane of the day has come
His mother is staring to hover, Eyes shine bright
Sings to her son

Sleep my child
The world will turn without you
Sleep my child
The world will turn without you
Sleep my child
The world will turn without you

I see a young man, unsung hero of the day
Comes home and stares at the floor
His wife, His life, Right now, in the unsung hours
Doesn’t know if he can hold on anymore

Sleep my child
The world will turn without you
Sleep my child
The world will turn without you
Sleep my child
The world will turn without you

I see an old man lying down
Face set like a mask
Bereaved repeat his words
“I too shall pass”

His mother is staring to hover
Sings to her son

Sleep my child
The world will turn without you
Sleep my child
The world will turn without you
Sleep my child
The world will turn without you
Sleep my child
The world will turn
