Reflection Lullaby

from The Watch Man by Arlon Bennett

about

I wrote this lullaby song long before I had a son. Then, I actually had a son and it fit just right!

SONG LYRICS

There’s amazing grace in this little face
as we rock-a-bye
It’s just me and you little boy blue
and elephants in the sky
As I draw the curtain closed
There surrounded in your tiny clothes,
I can see a reflection of me

It’s a crazy world above your curls
with rockets to the moon
Life’s not fair and daddy’s stare
you’ll learn all too soon
As I close the story book
and turn around to take another look,
I can see a reflection of me

Forbidden trees and falling leaves
Broken hearts and bloody knees
I will see a reflection of me
