I’ve been walking such a long, long time
And it seems like there’s nowhere to go
There doesn’t seem a point, a reason for it all
We’re all on the same road home
Why tell me why are we living here
Why tell me why are we living at all
We’re all going to die, it hurts right here
So why tell me why the reason for it all
Sleep baby sleep and don’t ask why
Sleep baby sleep, there’s somethings you don’t want to know
We keep you innocent for just so long
Then you’re like us, you’re out in the cold
But it’s out in the cold that you learn to live
To appreciate the basics of life
The sun and the moon and the stars in the sky
They’ll be there to welcome us home.
