Mary's Lullaby
A song by Elizabeth Smart. Mary sings to her children.
Go to sleep now baby boy
And have the most amazing dreams
Don't be afraid of the darkness
The darkness isn't what it seems
And you will sing yourself awake
And you and I will start the day
You'll tell me stories as we walk
About the man you want to be some day
So baby listen to your mother
Keep your nose clean and take good care of your brother
And if you need me just know that this is true
Angels are watching over you
Baby boy I know you're tired
Just lay your head down here to rest
Of all the loads I've ever had
You and your brother were my best
And I look down on you now
So sweet and funny; loud and brave
I know that you will never stop
Because there's always lives to save
But baby listen to your mother
Keep your gun clean and take good care of your brother
And if you feel the world is ending no matter what you do
Just know angels are watching over you
Baby boy your finally home
I dreamt for so long of this day
To finally hold you in my arms, again
And know that you are here to stay
And now were all here safe and sound
Just the way that is should be
With every friend that kept you safe
Now we are all a family
So baby listen to your mother
Come stand beside me with your father and your brother
And bring that angel with the coat and eyes of blue
I want to thank him; He's the angel that watched over you
Angel that watched over you
