Lyrics:

Go to sleep now, Marika**lf**Don''t lie awake like your Da''**lf**Go to sleep now, Marika**lf**You don''t know how lucky you are.**lf****lf**You never heard the radio**lf**You never read the news**lf**And you don''t know what they''re doing to your world**lf**And how much you stand to lose.**lf****lf**Go to sleep now, Marika**lf**Marika, go to sleep**lf**Don''t you cry, my Marika**lf**For far across the sea...**lf****lf**Children have more to cry about**lf**Than either you or me.**lf**Yesterday on the evening late news**lf**I saw a baby cry like you.**lf****lf**Sitting in the ruins of a home**lf**With no one left to turn to.**lf****lf**Don''t you cry now, Marika**lf**Marika, don''t you cry**lf**Don''t you fret now, the sound outside**lf**Is only traffic noise.**lf****lf**And that shouting from the street below**lf**Is only noisy boys**lf**And those aeroplanes that fly high above the house**lf**Carry only people here.**lf****lf**That rumbling going down along the road**lf**Is only the buses you hear.**lf****lf**Don''t you fret now, Marika**lf**Marika, don''t you fret**lf**Don''t you fret now, Marika**lf**Will you try to forget?
