In Your Lullaby


Don't let your lullabies
Be your "bust it down" before you
Crumble into dreams
And when you rise, be too surprised
So little light left in your eyes
And then devise, we're gonna bully the world
Into peace
With that logic we teach,
Even preach to the child
To be mild, then be wild
Defiled and reviled, bought and sold,
And consoled, crashin' cold,
Then be told, "You controlled,"
The boot on your brain,
While you dreamed
You'll redeem
When you're done
With your battlefield scream,
Or heal a hard mind
When it's a crime...to be kind,
Be refined, be combined,
Be divine, see the sign,
Drink the wine, re-design,
It's your time, it's your time,
It's your love, it's your gift,
It's your need, to be freed,
And to dream a sweet dream,
A sweet dream, a blue sky,
A gull cry, a good rain,
A slow train, a sweet dream,
In your lullaby.
