So many things I have to say
to those big eyes of yours
so many things about that world
that lies ahead of you
a world as big as
the thumb you're sucking on.

So many words to learn
so many answers to your whys
so many toys to open
to know what's inside
while with your little finger
you say you're one year old but you don't know what that means.

Rock-a-bye baby, rock-a-bye baby, rock-a-bye. (2v)

Tales of wise men and powerful ones like in King Arthur's time
tales of Foxes and Puppets and wizards inside the TV
wolves hidden behind smiles of false innocence.

Tales of rockets and galaxies and wars in video games
tales of unknown heroes fighting for you
while with your little finger you point to the blue sky
but you don't know what it is.

Rock-a-bye...

Sleep, for the future awaits you at the window
and without hurry, look inside your room.
I know you'll make it wonderful
just like you're dreaming now.

Rock-a-bye...

So many things I have to tell you, so many things I will tell you
so many moments to watch you
as you grow a little every day
so many things I'll learn from you too.
