Lullaby

Hush now little babe
The evening's grown older
A day standing frozen
Cold hearts are colder
You think you were right
But no one would listen
Don't worry little girl
They don't know what they're missing

My little princess Motet had sore eyes today
She can’t open her left eye this morning
I whispered to her she’s gonna be alright it’s just sore eyes
She told me it’s not, her Ate Angel accidentally caught her eye last night
That’s the reason it hurts, she told me
I said ok, then her mother will just put some cream so it will be alright

World turning round, turning round,
Turning over and over again.

Angel noticed that her brother Xavier has one too
They probably must have gotten the infection from their lolo
He was there last time and his eyes were infected
For Xavier, the sore eyes was some sort of a blessing
He would have to miss his class today
That means eight or so hours of computer and outdoor games

Sleep now little girl
I'll sing you a lullabye
There's no need to listen
But darling don't you cry
This world is getting older
Older by the day
I'll see you around my friend
I hope you'd stay.

Hay naku, the kids,
Sometimes you wish they would just sleep all day
Just like what my folks wanted me to do everyday back then
You have just waken up from a mid-day nap then they would tell
“Tulog ka na ulit..” Abay kagigising ko lang!
Maybe part of them being protective of us
But then as kids we need to experience these things
These growing pains build stronger a foundation for our kids
It reinforces their explorative spirits
So let there be sore eyes if needed,
There’s always a hush and a lullaby to keep safe & warm
