Sweet Dreams
Shall I wake him? No let him sleep
The giraffe said to the dog,
Do not disturb his peaceful rest
Let dreams keep him agog.
Another world where there's no harm
No beating will he get,
Where he can really feel so safe
His hurtful day forget.
Let's take him on a journey now
His dreams we will invade,
Just lift him gently in his mind
Let all his worries fade.
To be a boy just wild and free
To run and shout out loud,
This life is full of fun and joy
With dreams of love allowed.
Where people smile and never frown
Good deeds are done with love,
And boys can feel quite safe and sound
Away from push and shove.
So let this night be just for him
Keep stardust in his eyes,
Where he can dream of happiness
Before he then must rise.
Where waking hours bring him no hope
But filled with raw despair,
And is no fun for such a boy
Who has no-one to care.
Instead they beat him for his wrongs
And say he's never right,
For him it seems there's no escape
Except in sleep at night
Sweet dreams allow him to be free
Amongst the purple skies
His friends a dog and a giraffe
With them he never cries.
So let him sleep; don't wake him now
His dreams must be his own
And we'll protect and comfort him
So he is not alone.
