Don't wake my baby up tonight

Please don't wake my baby up tonight

He had just fallen asleep

After a long hard day

Of hunger n terror

At last he is with his dreams..

Please don't wake my baby up tonight

With guns, bombs and bullets

For he is just a little child

With hopes of a better future

For now he is with his dreams..

Please don't wake my baby up tonight

It is still dark outside

Not much difference from the daylight

As blood is shed from dusk til dawn

At least for now he is with his dreams..

Please don't wake my baby up tonight

His father isn't coming home

No more hugs and no more lullabies

Not now not tomorrow not ever

Maybe he is with him in his dreams..

Please don't wake my baby up tonight

Don't fill the air with the sound of tears

I would like him to hear the Koran's verses

Soothing calming the words of God

Maybe he will sleep with better dreams..

Please don't wake my baby up tonight

Spare his life for another day

Don't be afraid of what comes after

As God rewards the patience of believers

Sleep soundly my dear with sweet dreams..

Dedicated to the people of Palestine...
