Earth Mother Lullaby

from All Earth's Children by Ginger Ackley

/

about

For this song, I imagined a young mother singing her child to sleep - and Mother Earth singing to both of them, too!

lyrics

Loo, loo, hushaba loo, Sun's off to dreamland, its time for the moon
Loo, loo, hushaba loo, Sleep now, my little one, morning comes soon.

Earth Mother whispers so soft and so low
To seeds that are sleeping in darkness below
Warmed by the sunlight and kissed by the rain
To bring them to life, she sings her refrain:

Loo, loo, hushaba loo, Sun's off to dreamland, its time for the moon
Loo, loo, hushaba loo, Sleep now, my little one, morning comes soon.

The mountains and valleys lie quiet and still
Except for the call of a wee whippoorwill
Night shadows blanket the willow and oak
And soft breezes whisper the Earth Mother's hope.

Loo, loo, hushaba loo, Sun's off to dreamland, its time for the moon
Loo, loo, hushaba loo, Sleep now, my little one, morning comes soon.

Oh, the moon is a cradle that rocks in the sky
Starlight surrounds you till morning is nigh.
Hushaba little one, hushaba loo
Mother is singing an Earth Song for you.

Loo, loo, hushaba loo, Sun's off to dreamland, its time for the moon
Loo, loo, hushaba loo, Sleep now, my little one, morning comes soon.
