Wartime Lullaby

We did this song for Sunday service, but I felt a strong inner urge to do another video of it yesterday.

I learned a few things this past weekend, including the fact that I can reach a level of physical tiredness that actually impedes my singing. I thought I had rested sufficiently on Saturday, but Sunday morning showed me differently.

After sleeping 10 hours Sunday night, I was able to successfully bring energy to the song on Monday. I’m grateful for that, because it feels so important to share this vibration with the world that I just had to give it another shot.

Here’s how the video description starts out: “Wartime Lullaby is a song for world peace. It’s a sweet lullaby with a powerful message.”

Personally, I feel like it’s a lullaby that speaks more to adults than to babies. Well, perhaps it speaks to the inner child of all us grown-ups who are seeking a high consciousness and uplifted approach to dealing with the troubled and challenging times that seem to be multiplying all around us.

Hugs and blessings to all. 💖

LYRICS

Lullaby, my sweet baby, lullay, lullay,
Angel voices sing peace on the wind,
And though men cry with sorrows,
God’s silence within
Speaks of realms that no tears ever stained.
Beauty, men say, is a dream never known;
Shadow to them is a light.
But their gloom is a cry of a lost innocence,
Sleep sweetly with God through the night.

Lullaby, my sweet baby, lullay, lullay,
Mountain flow’rs are not frightened to bloom,
And though men spread destruction,
Life rises again
With a smile for the pull of the tomb.
Mercy still sings, though men’s leaders cry hate,
Peace is still loved, though they fight,
Bombs have never extinguished the candle of hope.
Sleep sweetly with God through the night.
