LULLABY FOR THE NEWLY-HATCHED

​

All through the night, 
walk toward the moon,
walk toward the light,
you’ll be there soon.

​

When brightest light is false light
outshining the moon and the stars
when waves have washed over the right path
I can only take you so far.

 

So all through the night,
walk toward the moon,
walk toward the light,
you’ll be there soon.

​

You’ll tunnel your way toward the sky
the higher you go, the lighter the sand
follow the light that you know
when you are nearer, you’ll understand

​

and all through the night,
walk toward the moon,
walk toward the light,
you’ll be there soon.
