Lullaby
Wake up, my dad
I won't let you sleep
Don't touch the stars
Don't go that way
Push away the delirium
Don't taste the sea
Don't listen to Iara
Calling from the river
Wake up, my dad
And help me understand
Why so much rage
So much ill will
I am very scared
Of the world I saw
Wake up, my dad
I won't let you sleep
The night leans
On a lamppost
It turns to dust
In blue fragments
At the feet of a boy
The city sank
Taking the emptiness
Of those who didn't dream
I'm a young man from afar
I heard you from afar
Saying, 'My son,
Don't go that way'
Don't touch the stars
Don't taste the sea
Don't listen to Iara from the river
Calling at night
