The Milky Way upon the heavens
  is twinkling just for you
  and Mr. Moon he came by
  to say goodnight to you
    I'll sing for you I'll sing for mother
  We're praying for the world
  and for the people everywhere
  gonna show them all we care
    Chorus:
  Oh my sleeping child the world's so wild
  but you've build your own paradise
  That's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child
    If all the people around the world
  they had a mind like yours
  we'd have no fighting and no wars
  there would be lasting peace on Earth
    If all the kings and all the leaders
  could see you here this way
  they would hold the Earth in their arms
  they would learn to watch you play
    Chorus:
  Oh my sleeping child the world's so wild
  but you've build your own paradise
  That's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child
    I'm gonna cover my sleeping child
  Keep you away from the world so wild
