The Noble Lullaby

[I. CHILDHOOD]

Sleep, sweet baby, my delight
You have a gaze that shines so bright
Your tender smile brings us joy
Sleep, our little baby boy

Sleep, sweet baby, it's getting late
There's still so much to live and taste
Great men once slept in a cradle
Before their names became a fable

[II. YOUTH]

He will change
He will grow
He will discover
An unexplored world

He will see the evil of humanity and he will cry

Who can tell us what this baby will become?
Was he called to heal the world?
Will his voice become a light for those who lie fallen in the night?

[III. ADULT]

But he will grow
He will change
He'll brave the sea, the fractured land
Bringing hope to those lost in the darkness
With an unwavering face

He will suffer
He will cry
Without knowing where the road will end
A life of sacrifice will mark his days
For he is being forged into a man

He will run
He will dance
He will listen and remember
A message burning in his chest
To heal the broken, by giving them rest

[IV. OLD AGE]

He will run until the end
And he will finish his race
Toward the final prize
Soon he will receive his reward

He has a goal
He has a home
He knows he will get there so soon
His days have been few and hard to bear
But he remains joyful and content

[V. DEATH]

Sleep, sweet baby, rest in peace
Your Lord prepared a resting place
One day He too rested in the grave
His angels will take you to Him

Receive, sweet baby, eternal peace
Love, joy, healing, blessed grace
Now you've found rest for your soul
Sit at the table and your Lord will serve you there

[VI. EPILOGUE]

Sleep, sweet baby, it's getting late
There's still so much to live and taste
Great men once slept in a grave
Before their names are called again
