LULLABY FOR A LOST FRIEND

Sleep little man,
You have a lot to sleep for
Let heavy thoughts rest
The road back is too steep
The dream’s still alive, if only at night

Sleep little man
It’s good you can finally rest
The world’s given you its worst offering
The needle holds no treasure
The dream’s still alive, if only at night

Sleep little man,
Where are those that have promised you,
– help to find your safety and strength
Could they not hold on?
Did they leave you behind?
Dream while you breathe, your last breath

The road back is too steep;
The dream’s still alive, if only at night
