Name: Sweet Child
Duration: P00H01M55S

Can a lullaby also be a protest song? I carried this song with me for years, thinking it was unfinished. When I heard the ProPublica recording of family separation at the border, I felt a sudden urgency to record this song as-is.

lyrics

Sweet Child

Sweet child, don’t weep
Sweet child, don’t weep

But sleep tonight
I know it’s cold
Sleep tonight
Lay down your head
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
