The Milky Way The Milky Way upon the heaven A drinkling for you two And Mr. Moon just 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 Oh my sleeping child The world is wild But you've built your own Paradise, that's one reason why I'll cover my sleeping child If all the people around the world They had a mind like yours There were no fighting and no wars There would be peace on earth, of course If all the kings and all the queens They were below your range We would all follow a brand new way And you would have many things to say Oh my sleeping child The world is wild But you've built your own Paradise, that's one reason why I'll cover my sleeping child Oh yeah I'm gonna cover my sleeping child I'm gonna cover you, my child Ain't gonna show you the world so wild Ain't gonna show you the world Show you the world so wild Oh my sleeping child The world is wild But you've built your own Paradise, that's one reason why I'll cover my sleeping child Oh my sleeping child The world is wild But you've built your own Paradise, that's one reason why I'll cover my sleeping child
