lyrics: down to sleep

down to sleep
lyrics by angela mcgary, omar chakaki, & mista cookie jar

(mista cookie jar)

sleep little child.
let ya worries dwindle away
focus on the memories
that made this special day

see them spinning,
spinning up a dream.
see them spinning,
spinning down to sleep.

(angela)

sleep little child
let the angels take u away
but only for a little while
to ease u on ur way.

see them spinning,
spinning up a dream.
see them spinning,
spin u down to sleep.

(omar)

relieve your eyelids
& open your mind
& leave the islands
afloatin behind
believe in findin
your hope & your shine
your dreams are diamonds
emotions - the mine
you'll notice that time
can break & can bind
the rope in your spine
& aches in your hind
a hopeless decline
but takin your time
to focus - refine
creates a divine
space to rejuvenate limbs
basic communications
'tween u & the angels
seen in the tangled
scenes of imagination
take in cosideration
this place to go ruminate in
chasin the light
replacing the night
embracing illumination

(angela & mista cookie jar)

sleep my darlin baby.
i'll be by ur side.
lay ur mind to rest, child.
dream and u shall find.

(mista cookie jar)

fall asleep sweet precious child
rest will come in the blink of an eye
curl up inside the smile of the moon.
close ur eyes for a mind's eye view
try to feel ur heartbeat n flow with the rhthym
seek the comfort that comes with wisdom
now take a deep breath, inhale the day.
count to 3 as u fade away into dream
off to sleep. off to sleep.
off to sleep. off to sleep.
1, 2, 3.....shhh
