Analysis of The Elephants lullaby
Hush cloudy elephant
Play in the sky
I see you running
And feel how you try
To tell us you're ok
That God is nearby
And the stars shine so happily
In your glistening eye
So hush cloudy elephant
Play in the sky
Hush cloudy elephant
Can we ask you why
We love you so much
And wish you could find
All the baby elephants
Etched into skies
Sweet rhyming lullaby
Don't make my heart cry
So hush cloudy elephant
Play in the sky
Hush cloudy elephant
Your family awaits
Digging little castles
And opening their gates
Find the sweetest flowers
As you rush along
And fluffy animals
Bring you their song
So hush cloudy elephant
Play all day long
