Lullaby for the Unconquered

Go to sleep, my darlin', let the darkness be your friend

This broken world belongs to men who think it'll never end

I know the wind is howlin' with the fury of their creed

A testament to selfishness, a monument to greed

You were born into the shadow of a gaudy, golden tower

Where a man who'd rather be a king forgot he had the power

To be a decent father to the children of this land

And now that choice is something you may never understand

But we are building you an ark out of our hope and out of our rage

We're turning this dark chapter to the turning of a page

We are standing on the shoreline with our arms against the tide

Giving you the only shelter that our broken hearts provide

So dream a dream of quiet, dream a dream of gentle things

Of a world that has a memory of how a bluebird sings

Dream a dream of sunshine, dream a dream of open doors

'Cause that's the world we're fighting for, my darlin', that world's yours

Yeah, that's the world we're fighting for, you are the reason why

This lullaby's a promise that the truth will never die.

We will teach you all the stories that they've stolen from the books

We'll teach you how to recognize a tyrant by his looks

Of panic and of weakness when he's faced with what is right

We are raising you to be a fierce and unrelenting light

So they can have their moment, they can have their little war

We are raising up the army that will settle the damn score

Not with bullets, not with anger, but a mind they can't command

The future of this nation will be resting in your hand

And we are building you an ark out of our hope and out of our rage

We're turning this dark chapter to the turning of a page

We are standing on the shoreline with our arms against the tide

Giving you the only shelter that our broken hearts provide

So dream a dream of quiet, dream a dream of gentle things

Of a world that has a memory of how a bluebird sings

Dream a dream of sunshine, dream a dream of open doors

'Cause that's the world we're fighting for, my darlin', that world's yours

Yeah, that's the world we're fighting for, you are the reason why

This lullaby's a promise that the truth will never die.
