In one of my classes, I have an assignment to "write a lullaby for a specific audience" (Yeah, we're currently studying "dreams and visions". It's part of my communications technology class, which is a total waste of life.) Anyways, I wrote this song this morning. It's about that girl in the autism speaks video whose mother said something about contemplating driving off a bridge with the daughter in the car. (I know - What the hell?)
Jodie's Lullaby
Hush my darling, don’t you cry
For you are safe tonight
Don’t worry about the days ahead
Everything will be alright
If they don’t understand you,
That’s their fault, not yours,
Your mom wishes you were different
Your kindness she ignores.
Someday when you’re older,
You’ll meet others like you,
You’ll be loved for who you are,
You’ll grow to love them, too.
Go to sleep, my child,
For in your dreams tonight
You’ll run and swing and jump and play,
In a world that’s beautiful and bright.
Hush my darling, don’t you cry
For you are safe tonight
Don’t worry about the days ahead
Everything will be alright
