Hero’s Lullaby Lyrics by Anne Harlan Prather

Space Heroes & 𝒪𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓇 𝐹𝑜𝑜𝓁𝓈

0

Sleep, my son, don't you cry tonight
Tomorrow's sun will rise shining bright
On a faraway world your father bravely fights
And he'll return in the morning
Oh, your father is tall and your father is strong
Your father is a soldier born
Born to fight and born to die
While I am left alone to cry
Sleep, my son, don't you cry tonight
Tomorrow's sun will rise shining bright
On a faraway world your father bravely fights
And he'll return in the morning
Oh, I cry for my father, who died in the field
I cry for my brother, whose wounds never healed
I cry for these men, forced to fight and die
Who never know peace in their lives
Sleep, my son, don't you cry tonight
Tomorrow's sun will rise shining bright
On a faraway world your father bravely fights
And he'll return in the morning
Oh, you'll grow to be a soldier, my boy
Learn to shoot a gun like a toy
Learn to fight and learn to kill
And then be buried in the morning
Sleep, my son, don't you cry tonight
Tomorrow's sun will rise shining bright
On a faraway world your father bravely fights
And he'll be buried in the morning
