mockingbird
close your eyes and count backwards from three
and see what the world will give you
close your eyes and make a wish you’ve never wished before
to be sure your soul may be hurting but there is nothing
wrong with your sight or your heart or your mind
hush little baby and close your big beautiful eyes
for it’s time to dream of new worlds that await you
hush little baby and let loose your imagination
and whatever it is you may do
please don’t you cry

Peter Paul and Mary did a great version.
