If
you were in reach I would nurse you, child
And make a soft bed for your momma
If I were a trigger-happy president
I'd postpone my hunt for Osama
Sleep,
baby, sleep
Under the Darfur moon
Before the rains come and erase you
Someone should be there soon
Your
picture's right there for the world to see
Millions of people look away
We shuffle our feet and clear our throats
What can one person do anyway?
Sleep,
baby, sleep
Under the Darfur moon
Before the rains come and erase you
Someone should be there soon
Someone should be there soon
If
you had white skin or some oil fields
Would it have gone this far?
Here's my bewildered belated gift
Money, prayers and a song on this guitar
Sleep,
baby, sleep
Under the Darfur moon
Before the rains come and erase you
Someone should be there soon
Someone should be there soon
Someone should be there soon
Sleep,
baby, sleep
Under the Darfur moon
Before the rains come and erase you
Someone should be there soon
Someone should be there soon
Someone should be there
