Hush, hush

Don't make a sound

Daddy will wake

Shh...

You can't be heard

Mommy just stirred

Sleep

Sleep soundly

For tomorrow daylight comes

The world is filled with colors, patterns, games

And things you can't yet understand

Pretty baby, enjoy it while you can

There is always something better

You haven't been corrupted yet

That is something you can still see

It's tough

There is a lot of hard work

Pretty baby, you can still be what you want to be

Have faith

Never give up

Learn what you can

Simple steps, baby steps

Don't worry if things are harder than they seem

Do well, you can live your dreams

But that is too far away

For now, sleep soundly

For the daylight comes with the morning sun

Don't ever quit, don't forget that

But sleep safe and sound tonight

You can take your baby steps in the morning light
