TUVAYHUN — Beatitudes for a Wounded World
TUVAYHUN: VIII. Rachel’s Song
Oh Mama, I don't want to go to sleep!
So many things I want to do
So many things I want to see
I couldn't ever go to sleep!
Dear Mama, will you sing to me?
Go to sleep, my precious child
And lay aside your worries
Tomorrow is another day
To grow and learn, and love and play
Tomorrow, all the world shall be
Just as it was
As it was today, you'll see
Oh Mama, I don't want to go to sleep!
I want to jump! I want to dance!
I want to sing the whole night through!
I couldn't think of sleep at all
Dear Mama, May I sing with you?
Go to sleep, my restless one
And still your stirring spirit
The silent stars shall dance tonight
And greet the sun in morning light
Tomorrow all the world shall leap
But only if you sleep!
I pray to God who dwells above
To watch you closely as you sleep
And grant you all the joys you seek
The world is darker than you know
Tomorrow morning, when you wake
The world will be made new again
But you will be a little taller
And the big, wide world a little smaller
Tomorrow the world is yours to keep
But tonight, my darling, precious child
My sweet one, go to sleep
So many things I want to do
So many things I want to see
I couldn't ever go to sleep!
Dear Mama, will you sing to me?
Go to sleep, my precious child
And lay aside your worries
Tomorrow is another day
To grow and learn, and love and play
Tomorrow, all the world shall be
Just as it was
As it was today, you'll see
Oh Mama, I don't want to go to sleep!
I want to jump! I want to dance!
I want to sing the whole night through!
I couldn't think of sleep at all
Dear Mama, May I sing with you?
Go to sleep, my restless one
And still your stirring spirit
The silent stars shall dance tonight
And greet the sun in morning light
Tomorrow all the world shall leap
But only if you sleep!
I pray to God who dwells above
To watch you closely as you sleep
And grant you all the joys you seek
The world is darker than you know
Tomorrow morning, when you wake
The world will be made new again
But you will be a little taller
And the big, wide world a little smaller
Tomorrow the world is yours to keep
But tonight, my darling, precious child
My sweet one, go to sleep
