Lullaby Lyrics by Garrett Smith

Albatross

2021

I don't care about our Father, dear
Let's leave him out of this tonight
'Cause this might be my only chance
To get the best thing next to right

You're gonna be a warrior
Take the wind out of their sails
You're gonna set the whole thing upright
Mend the places where I failed

You're gonna have so much grace
But just too little for yourself
I'd like to wipe away those tears
Put expectations on the shelf

You're gonna shine with such a wisdom
And a peace I've never known
Then find an equal in a partner
And start a family of your own

In a universe of possible future lights
There is maybe one that shines but half as bright
As the beating of a heart that didn't die
Where I didn't have to write this lullaby
Will you hear this lullaby?

You're gonna fight with your brother
But he'd be your dearest friend
And you would drive the old folks crazy
But win them over in the end

You're gonna argue with your mother
And I'd stay neutral in the fight
Although I'd gently remind you
That in the end, she's always right

I'd give advice that you would follow
And other bits you would ignore
And when you asked how much I'd love you
I'd always say, "A little more."

So go to sleep, now, with the Father
He seemed to want you more than me
And if you wonder why I search those stars
Just know I'm always trying to see

Within a universe of possible future lights
There is maybe one that shines but half as bright
As the beating of a heart that didn't die
Where I didn't have to write this lullaby
Will you hear this lullaby?
I hope you hear this lullaby
