Lyrics

Child of a nuclear winter, don’t fear the dawn
Whatever falls from the sky, life will go on
Keep your visions and dreams safely inside
Fear not the future, it will abide
And when the pain becomes too much to bear,
Remember, I will be here

Go to sleep, my darling, everything will be all right in a while
Darkness will turn to day and you will see me smile, once again

There’s s chill in the air and the sky is so gray
There’s snow on the ground in the middle of May
And I wish I could answer the question I see in your eyes:
Why does one person live while another one dies?
Come, lie beside me in a land where nothing will grow

Go to sleep, my darling, everything will be all right in a while
Darkness will turn to day and you will see me smile, once again
