Hush, little baby, don’t scream
No one here can help
If you want to learn to fly this thing
You must learn to soothe yourself
You can fight and you can fuss
You can piss and moan
But it’s the same for all of us
We had to learn it on our own
These words, it’s true,
Mean less to you
Than the cackle of a crow
Find the peace inside this tune
And take it wherever you may go
And years from now when you’re lying in your bed
And your mom and dad have gone
You wake up with a soul that’s soaked in dread
And miles to go before the dawn
You must return to what you learned
Back when you were a little kid
Take your time and learn it well
You’ll be glad you did
Hush, little baby, don’t scream
