  2. Lullaby of War

    words/music by Aireene Espiritu

    Sleep little one, try to dream tonight

    Please pay no mind to sounds of war outside

    May this warm embrace melt your worries away

    Lay all weapons down and dream tonight

    Sleep little darlin’, just try to dream tonight

    In your dreams pay no mind to uniforms of war

    Wish I could keep the dawn at bay

    And wake you up when it’s over

    Lay all weapons down and dream tonight

    Do you wonder why a heart gets cold

    While the sun is shining bright

    When their eyes are closed are they dreaming, too?

    Or bleeding?

    Oh sleep my brother, wipe your tears aside

    Close your eyes, rest your mind from your duties of war

    Where quiet streets and standing trees

    A neighbor smiles passing by

    Lay your weapons down and dream tonight
