rag doll

rag doll

little girl

strewn upon the stones.

hush now

sleep

little princess

little princess of city Prince

peace be still

the earth

the sky

cry no more
little heart

no more

cry.

awaken your sleep

splash your face
lift your gaze;

time to kiss the Sun

to laugh the Moon
to dance the Sky:

time to go home.

everything's gonna be alright

everything's gonna be alright now

little princess of city Prince

little girl

rag doll.
