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
