Hush, Little Baby

Hush little baby
Soon Daddy will be home
And he’ll be honoured
with lots of medals and gold
He’ll build a nice house
with a white- picket fence
And lovely flowers surrounding it
Mom’ll cook dinner every night
So hush little baby
For you’re about to grow
Maybe someday, someday
You’ll amount to something greater
than your father or me
You won’t have to fight in wars
Perhaps someday you’ll be a leader
A leader of a world
A world where people can be kind
To strangers and to friends
A world where human lives
do not end in fights
someday that will happen
though it seems far away
and it all starts with you, little baby
it all starts with you
so hush, little baby,
Daddy will soon be home
