The Time Traveler’s Lullaby
It’s time to rest and stop running for a while.
(Mommy/Daddy/Name) let you he sky go dark so the stars could appear.
Out of all of history, and any given day,
There is no sweeter time or place for us to be than here.
This is the moment (Mommy/Daddy/Name) picked just for you.
The Moon is bright, the wind is soft, and it’s time for counting sheep.
We can just lay back and let the night go by.
We’re headed for tomorrow, and we’ll get there in our sleep.
You can dream of our days spent in the past.
The scenery by zeppelin, or the mammoths in the snow.
Don’t you fret about making Caesar mad.
It wasn’t really our fault, and he passed on long ago.
This is the moment (Mommy/Daddy/Name) picked just for you.
An instant of tranquility, in a brief historic hush.
We can just lay back and let the night go by.
We’re headed for tomorrow, but there’s no need to rush.
The new Quiet Pine Trees book just hit 50% funding! As promised, here are the lyrics to “The Time Traveler’s Lullaby,” which is part of the new content created for the book. Thank you to everyone who helped me reach this milestone. I hope your little time travelers get a good night’s sleep.
