Lullaby

Hush, my child, it's time for bed
'Cause that's what the clock on the wall just said
I know the sun shines out in space
So pull this screen across your face

You're cranky 'cause you need the sleep
Spend some minutes counting sheep
You'll see our land-site on the tape
Lambs floating across the moonscape

Pretend you're falling all the way
Lull off as orbits decay
And when you wake, no more we'll roam
We'll bounce from ship to our new home.
