He grows everyday
And thinks 'never die'
Life he will live his way
Hush-a-by baby, don't cry

Even though he's discriminate
He never asks why
He doesn't show he's intimidated
Hush-a-by baby, don't cry

The doctor's say he has limited time
And as the years pass him by
He becomes a relentless dime
Hush-a-by baby, don't cry

And as the sickness spreads
He doesn't whine or sigh
He isn't full of dread
Hush-a-by baby, don't cry

So his family, they prepare
But they put on a mask and lie
For maybe, maybe it will disappear
Hush-a-by baby, don't cry

And he says, now's my cue
Don't cry, for I'll be in the sky
Watching over you
Hush-a-by baby, don't cry
