Go to sleep, little brother, go to sleep.
The bombs and guns are far away
This is your respite from the fray
And all too soon it will be day
Go to sleep, little brother, go to sleep.
Go to sleep little brother, go to sleep.
Lay down your head and close your eyes
And dream of moonlit starry skies
And do not heed the battle cries
Go to sleep, little brother, go to sleep.
Go to sleep, little brother, go to sleep.
Some before you have marched on
Remember them before the dawn
If you remember, they're not gone
Go to sleep, little brother, go to sleep.
Go to sleep, little brother, go to sleep.
Curl in close and hear my voice
And know we all must make a choice
To scorn our lives or to rejoice
Go to sleep, little brother, go to sleep.
Go to sleep, little brother, go to sleep.
You're not alone, you never are
You have your vode near and far
Now make a wish upon a star
Go to sleep, little brother, go to sleep.
Go to sleep, little brother, go to sleep.
