Children sleep, children sleep,
Close your eyes and do not weep
Have no sorrow, have no fears
Feel no pain and shed no tears
The door and veil open wide
To welcome you to the other side
Go, sweet loved ones, be at peace
Let the pain and anger cease
Children sleep, children sleep,
Close your eyes and do not weep
Have no sorrow, have no fears
Feel no pain and shed no tears
Mother Earth your soul embraces
And wipes the tears from your faces
Your pain is over, you may rest
You're in our prayers and by Goddess blessed
Children sleep, children sleep,
Close your eyes and do not weep
Have no sorrow, have no fears
Feel no pain and shed no tears
All of us the bitterness have tasted
To see young lives so cruelly wasted
To see those left behind distraught
At what the soulless ones have wrought
Children sleep, children sleep,
Close your eyes and do not weep
Have no sorrow, have no fears
Feel no pain and shed no tears
This was a cruel and unfair deed
And for the bloodshed there was no need
Returned too early to the ground
Goddess, keep them safe and sound
Children sleep, children sleep,
Close your eyes and do not weep
Have no sorrow, have no fears
Feel no pain and shed no tears.
Close your eyes and do not weep
Have no sorrow, have no fears
Feel no pain and shed no tears
The door and veil open wide
To welcome you to the other side
Go, sweet loved ones, be at peace
Let the pain and anger cease
Children sleep, children sleep,
Close your eyes and do not weep
Have no sorrow, have no fears
Feel no pain and shed no tears
Mother Earth your soul embraces
And wipes the tears from your faces
Your pain is over, you may rest
You're in our prayers and by Goddess blessed
Children sleep, children sleep,
Close your eyes and do not weep
Have no sorrow, have no fears
Feel no pain and shed no tears
All of us the bitterness have tasted
To see young lives so cruelly wasted
To see those left behind distraught
At what the soulless ones have wrought
Children sleep, children sleep,
Close your eyes and do not weep
Have no sorrow, have no fears
Feel no pain and shed no tears
This was a cruel and unfair deed
And for the bloodshed there was no need
Returned too early to the ground
Goddess, keep them safe and sound
Children sleep, children sleep,
Close your eyes and do not weep
Have no sorrow, have no fears
Feel no pain and shed no tears.
