Sleep, mother sleep
your children are around you 
memories surround you and your brother is alright
the jungle did not harm him
the prayers did not alarm him 
as they melted into silent early sleep, mother sleep

Sleep, father sleep
the land you left forgot you
there's still some folks to talk to and your son is by your side
the printer loved you dearly
as he sang so sweet and clearly
in the churches of the prairie where we sleep, father sleep

Sleep, daughter sleep
your quiet heart is restless
tied up and defenseless and your smile is so bright
what riches are you seeking?
when pen and ink are leaking 
onto pages that will make the monster sleep, daughter sleep

Sleep, brother sleep
your words are meant for fighting
your laughter rings of righting all the wrongs that held you tight
your parents do not own you
the future cannot loan you
night time visions for your waking hours of sleep, brother sleep

Sleep, lover sleep
your dreams will come tomorrow
we will not have to borrow any sunshine from the sky
the moon is softly shining
as our days they are unwinding
from the spool of everlasting, silent sleep
lover sleep, brother sleep, father sleep, daughter sleep, mother sleep
