The Milky Way upon the heaven 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 built 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] 
(Cover my child) I'm gonna cover my sleeping child 
(Keep you away) keep you away from the world so wild 
Keep you away from the world, away from the world so wild 
[Chorus] x 2
