Go to sleep, my little soldier, I've heard you say your prayers
I've listened while you told him of your troubles and your cares
Oh, don't you worry 'bout the sorry you see in your daddy's eyes
Go to sleep until tomorrow, I'll sing this lullabye:

[Chorus]
Hush, hushabye, baby of mine
Hush and tomorrow will all turn out fine

First you told him of the soldiers you shout at every day
You pray, don't make me hate them, but I wish they'd go away
And you ask him to forgive them, though you don't quite known why
Go to sleep until tomorrow; I'll sing this lullabye:

[Chorus]
Hush, hushabye, baby of mine
Hush and tomorrow will all turn out fine

Then you pray for all the people who've been bombed or been shot down
You pray, let it be over, when will peace come to our town?
And I wish I knew the answer like I know the reasons why
Go to sleep until tomorrow; I'll sing this lullabye:

[Chorus]
Hush, hushabye, baby of mine
Hush and tomorrow will all turn out fine
Dream about a new tomorrow when we finally count the cost
Of the words already spoken, the lives already lost
When we all can live together, though we don't see eye-to-eye
Go to sleep until tomorrow; I'll sing this lullabye:

[Chorus]
Hush, hushabye, baby of mine
Hush and tomorrow will all turn out fine
