Lullaby For Soldier Lyrics Novels & Stories

Without thinking, I closed my eyes and let a melody slip past my lips. It was an old, quiet lullaby I had hummed to the concrete walls of my cell in Lockwood Correctional. I used to press my hands to my swollen belly in the dark, singing it until the baby stopped kicking and went to sleep. "Hush now, little one, the storm is passing by..." I sang softly, letting the vibration of my chest soothe him. "Rest your head, the dawn is in the sky..." It worked like magic. Within minutes, the frantic wailing dissolved into small, sleepy hiccups. Luca's tiny fists uncurled, his breathing evening out against my collarbone as he drifted back to sleep.

I sang one of Dad’s favorite songs and it tugged my heart strings. “If you're reading this…My Mommas sittin there…Looks like I only got a one way ticket over here…Sure wish I…Could give you one more kiss…And war was just a game we played when we were kids…I'm laying down my gun…I'm hanging up boots…I'm up here with God and we're both watching over you…So lay me down…In that open field out on the edge of town…And know my soul…Is where my momma always prayed…That it would go…And if you're reading this…I'm already home…If you're reading this…Half way around the world…I won't be there…To see the birth of our little girl…I hope she looks like you…I hope she fights like me…Stand up for the innocen

I took a deep breath and sat by the rocking chair near the window and started singing him a lullaby I thought I forgot but now I remembered. " Hush now baby don't you cry. Rest your wings My butterfly..." Out of nowhere a familiar baritone voice filled the room "Peace will come to you in time , and I will sing this lullaby ." I looked up an all I could do was cry between my blurry vision and Angelo taking Pio gently away from my arms I just cried . I was crying because I just had a memory of the exact moment we sang the song together and when he played a 2006 Josh Groban / Ladysmith Black Mambazo song in the car to get the kids to sleep.

I tiptoe out and close the door behind me. I wait a moment outside the door. Zara’s cries make my heart feel like it’s in a vise. A sad smile comes across my face when I hear Mom singing a lullaby. It’s the same one she always sang to me when I was little. Even from outside the room, her voice makes me feel better. Late at night when the moon is high / The Wolf will make its eerie cry / Echoes in the valleys deep / And the mountains that are steep Then they travel far and wide / To find that soothing lullaby / They do not stop not once at all / Until they find that lovely song

••Athara•• As I cradled our son in my arms, I hummed a soft lullaby that my mother used to sing to me when I was a child. The sweet melody filled the room, and my little boy’s eyes slowly began to flutter close. I closed my eyes too, breathing in the scent of his soft hair as I lost myself to the music. I put him to bed when he was quite asleep. "Sleep tight, my handsome little man," I said in the middle of humming the lullaby that made him close his eyes.

Not even a little. So instead, I ignore them, pop an earbud into my empty left ear, and listen to the song by The Cab. It came with a message saying I must stay safe. Sent by the one girl I had no business falling for. But did. They say before you start a war You better know what you’re fighting for Well baby, you are all that I adore If love is what you need, a soldier I will be Without my permission, a ridiculously helpless smile curves my lips as I listen to the words.

“I know you will slay all my nightmares.” Mom starts singing a lullaby I haven’t heard in years. I hear the lute and harp playing the soft introduction. My eye lids are heavy. “Close your eyes the night is kind. Lay your heavy heart in mind. What you lost still knows your name love does not forget the flame. Sleep will take what words can’t say, carry pain far, far away. Dream my love, dream tonight. I will guard your rest till morning light. Dream my love don’t weep or fight you are held in dreams tonight.”

Instead, he felt her softly tapping him on his forehead and heard her sing a foreign song he had never known before. No, it was not a song. It was a lullaby for a little child. Sleepy little child, you continue your sleep. Sleepy little child, be whatever you want to be. Close your eyes a little, and imagine what you love to do. Surround yourself with warmth, with the people who love and adore you. Sleepy little child, I hope you are asleep. Sleepy little child, be in a world of bliss. Carry on with closing your eyes up until the sun manages to wake you.

Hjolt replied: "Oh, aurora, auroras, evening auroras Oh, lullaby... the evening light Evening auroras, sun entering Oh, lullaby... sunshine coming in High sun was rising, far away shining Oh, lullaby... far away shining To the forest and the field, to the blue sea Oh, lullaby... to the blue sea There was a slat above the blue sea Oh, lullaby... above the blue sea Oak tree or pine footbridge Oh, lullaby... pine footbridge Nobody was walking on this footbridge Oh, lullaby... on this footbridge Nobody was walking, nobody was driving Oh, lullaby... nobody was driving Darioniuszka passed, Wasilewicz passed Oh, lullaby...

“He does not deserve peace. He does not deserve happiness. Every moment of his life will be haunted. Every dream he dares to hold, I will crush it.” His hand slammed down against the armrest, the sound cracking like thunder. His eyes gleamed with a dark fire as he leaned forward, his voice dropping to a venomous hiss. “I will make every miserable day of his life hell.” Lucas turned sharply toward the guard, his grin widening with sinister anticipation. “There’s no cure for it, right?” he asked, his eyes gleaming with dangerous excitement. The soldier shifted uncomfortably, his throat bobbing as he tried to find his words. “Uh… yes… no… the thing is—”
