The World Rolls On
from The Ghost of Wu
This song is, quite simply, a lullaby. Despite a rather dark turn in the final verse, it’s the only Ghost of Wu song that can almost stand on its own without the context being fully set up.
Little girl
As you sleep, the world rolls on
As you rest, little girl
Night turns to dawn
Mama’s here
In your dreams, protecting you
Day and night, Mama’s here
Caressing you
In the ever after
Dawn becomes the day
When the sound of laughter
Bids the sun to stay
Little girl
As you sleep the world rolls on
As you rest, little one
Night turns to dawn
In your dreams
Sunbeams dance on your pillow
Twinkling stars delight you
Lighting your way
Soon to come the morrow
When you will awake
Once again to borrow
What isn’t ours to take
Little girl
As you sleep
The world rolls on.
Lyrics by Donna Kaulkin
