Child, quit your weeping
Your mother's laid to rest
She's only sleeping
Soon you'll meet again
Why? I don't make up the rules
The Devil preys upon heroes
Rewards the fools
Sometimes the sun shines
Sometimes there's only clouds
You might as well learn that now
God is a drifter
He made your heart from the stars
Sometimes his lessons
Sure as hell seem a little too harsh
Child, be glad you're breathing
Keep your head above the waves
Your mother's only sleeping
She left you in her wake
No, no, no, no, no, no
Why? Well I don't know
Oh, I don't know
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
She's only sleeping
Hush little baby
Don't say a word
She's only sleeping
Hush little baby
Don't say a word
