The Sleeping Child
Music by BobChilcott
Poem by Charles Bennett

Sleeping child, I wonder, have you a dream to share?
May I see the things you see as you slumber there?

I dream a wind that speaks, like music as it blows
As if it were the breath of everything that grows.

I dream a flock of birds flying through the night
Like silent stars on wings of everlasting light, of everlasting light.

Sleeping child, sleeping child.

I dream a flowing river, deep as a thousand years,
Its fish are frozen sorrow, its water bitter tears, bitter tears.

I dream a tree so green, branches wide and long,
And ev'ry leaf a voice and ev'ry voice a song, a song.

I dream of a babe who sleeps, a life that's just begun.
A word that waits to be spoken.
The promise of a world to come.

Sleeping child, sleeping child.
