John Cage: a Lullaby
First performed 3/15/93

You're watching through the cold and dark
You're watching through the cold and dark
How can I reach you?
You're watching through the cold and dark
You're watching through the cold and dark
How can I get through?

Well, sometimes you feel like you've never been loved
And sometimes you feel like you never love
And sometimes you think you feel your whole world falling away
But hold on, hold on and listen to what I say

There's music, all around us
How can you say that you're down
There's music, all around us
How can you say that you're down

You're swimming in a sea of fear
Swimming in a sea of fear
How can I reach you?
You're swimming in a sea of fear
Swimming in a sea of fear
How can I get through?

Well, sometimes you feel like you've never been loved
And sometimes you feel like you never love
And sometimes you think you feel your whole world falling away
But hold on, hold on and listen to what I say

There's music, all around us
How can you say that you're down
There's music, all around us
How can you say that you're down
