The Milky Way upon the heavens Is twinkling just for you And Mr. Moon he came by To say goodnight to you I'll sing for you I'll sing for mother We're praying for the world And for the people eveywhere Gonna show them all we care [Chorus] Oh my sleeping child the world's so wild But you've build your own paradise That's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child If all the people around the world They had a mind like yours We'd have no fighting and no wars There would be lasting peace on Earth If all the kings and all the leaders Could see you here this way They would hold the Earth in their arms They would learn to watch you play [Chorus] I'm gonna cover my sleeping child Keep you away from the world so wild
