[Verse]
Go to sleep, my little soldier, I've heard you say your prayers,
I've listened while you told him of your troubles and your cares,
Oh, don't you worry bout the sorrow you see in your daddy's eyes,
Go to sleep until tomorrow, I'll sing this lullaby.

[Chorus]
Hush, hush, a bye, baby of mine,
Hush and tomorrow will all turn out fine.

[Verse]
First you told him of the soldiers you shout at every day,
You pray, don't make me hate them, but I wish they'd go away,
And you ask him to forgive them, though you don't quite know why,
Go to sleep until tomorrow, I'll sing this lullaby.

[Chorus]
Hush, hush, a bye, baby of mine,
Hush and tomorrow will all turn out fine.

[Verse]
Then you pray for all the people who've been bombed or been shot down,
You pray, let it be over, when will peace come to our town?
And I wish I knew the answer like I know the reasons why,
Go to sleep until tomorrow, I'll sing this lullaby.

[Chorus]
Hush, hush, a bye, baby of mine,
Hush and tomorrow will all turn out fine.

[Verse]
Dream about a new tomorrow when we finally count the cost,
Of the words already spoken, the lives already lost,
When we all can live together, though we don't see eye to eye,
Go to sleep until tomorrow, I'll sing this lullaby.

[Chorus]
Hush, hush, a bye, baby of mine,
Hush and tomorrow will all turn out fine.
