How can we fall asleep
How can we close our eyes
When the world’s on fire
How can we rest our head
How can we close our eyes
When the world is burning

How can we fall asleep
How can we close our eyes
When the world’s on fire
How can we rest our head
How can we close our eyes
When the world is burning

With my little sister
In our blue canoe
On a chocolate river
How can I protect you

In the station’s hall
Looking at all the paintings on the wall
So many different trains going in all directions
Like the rose of a compass

My little sister
In our blue canoe
On a chocolate river
Falling asleep
How can we fall asleep
How can we close our eyes
When the world is burning
How can we fall asleep
How can we close our eyes
When the world’s on fire

And my little sister…
