I've gotten some requests to do a lullaby. Here is an original called "Tooa-ra-loo-ra-li." It's inspired by the way we grow up too fast in this world and forget the pure joy and beauty of being a child.
Some have confused this song with the traditional Irish lullaby "Too Ra Loo Ra Loo Ral," but it's different musically or lyrically.
LYRICS:
She tucks her in bed
And she kisses her cheek
Too-ra-loo-ra-li
She sings her a song
As she drifts off to sleep
Too-ra-loo-ra-li
She dreams of a land
Where the unicorns fly
To-ra-loo-ra-li
Where angels sing
From the clouds on high
To-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo, too-ra-li, too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo, too-ra-li, too-ra-loo-ra-li
Many years have passed
Since I dreamed such a dream
Too-ra-loo-ra-li
Unicorns have been plucked
Of their horns and their wings
Too-ra-loo-ra-li
Maybe if I believe
I'll remember the way
To the place I once did know
Where it's ok to dance
And it's ok to dream
And you're never considered too old
Too-ra-loo, too-ra-li, too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo, too-ra-li, too-ra-loo-ra-li
Little child, when they tell you
That your time is up,
Remember this one thing
Don't you lose the map
Don't throw away the key
To the place where your dreams run free
Too-ra-loo, too-ra-li, too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo, too-ra-li, too-ra-loo-ra-li
