Sci Fi Children Born to change the world They’re Sci Fi Children A boy and a girl Sci Fi Children With sci fi on the shelves Sci Fi Children Will save us from ourselves They could take us to another planet They could take us way beyond the stars They could take us years into the future To a life on Jupiter or Mars They’re Sci Fi Children A boy and a girl Sci Fi Children With sci fi on the shelves Sci Fi Children Will save us from ourselves They could eat things that we never heard of They could live under the ocean deep They could invent things we never dreamed of But they will still need to sleep Sci Fi Children Before you save the world Sci Fi Children Not just boys and girls Sci Fi Children Before you start your quest Sci Fi Children It’s time to get some rest

Oscar 02:16
What is troubling you, I don’t know. You can’t tell me yet but I can guess though. Is it your tummy that tilts and tumbles? Is it the passing truck that shakes and rumbles? Is it wind or is it sun? Or maybe you’re just hungry? Oscar, Oscar Oscar, are you sleepy? Oscar, Oscar Sleep feels good and easy. What just made you laugh, I don’t know. You can’t tell me yet but I can guess though. Was it the face I made that seems so funny? Is it because you’re like a chunky bunny? Are you ticklish? Do you feel something new to feel? What do you desire, I don’t know. You can’t tell me yet but I can guess though. Is it the pacifier or a bottle? Is it the blanket or a little cuddle? Is it food or is it toys. Let me know sweet boy.

Sacha's Song 03:01
It’s safe to sleep now Sacha You can close your eyes All the things you see Will be here when you rise All the things you want to learn All the things for which you yearn Will be here or they’ll return And when you sleep Your brain can synthesize All the stuff you know You’ll find You’ll recognize The shapes of all your toes And the things that they can do How they move inside your shoes And how to bring them close to you Before you know it you’ll be dancing too. And when you sleep Your curiosity Can go out and explore You’ll find Brand new velocity As you begin to soar Through the layers of your dreams Where you can drink from crystal streams Or take a bath in cool moonbeams And somehow figure out what all this means So now sleep Sacha Don’t fight sleep Sacha Sleep surrounds you like Mama’s arms

Super Baby 02:01
Super baby Stretches out her little arms to fly So high She’s magic Super Baby Like a comet streaks across the sky We try To catch a glimpse of super baby And when The super baby goes to sleep She curls up like comma In the arms of her mama Super babies sleep efficiently Super baby Opens up her mouth and starts to cry So high She’s magic Super Baby With her voice, her power shakes the sky We try To be as strong as super baby Super babies sleep efficiently Super baby – time to fly to sleep

Lucinda 01:57
Lucinda, Lucinda Take a look around Lucinda, Lucinda Let yourself sink down Into the dreaming sea Where all the dreamers meet And laugh together as they roll around Lucinda, Lucinda Tell me what you see Lucinda, Lucinda On the dreaming Sea Where everybody floats without the need of boats Or flies around with wings like honeybees Lucinda Lucinda Lucinda Lucy Lucinda Lucinda Lucinda Lucy Lucinda Lucinda When you are awake Lucinda Lucinda Don’t worry about mistakes You’ll fix them in your dreams It’s easier than it seems We learn the most from the mistakes we make

Lost Lullaby 02:55
Stars, watch over my baby Moon, watch over my child Wind, whisper love to my baby In the town, in the country, in the wild Earth, please hold up my baby Water, replenish my child Air, won’t you sing to my baby In the town, in the country, in the wild Even if we’re apart Even if we’re afraid Even if the world changes those plans that we made Even in the dark Even in a storm Our love will keep us warm Stars, watch over my baby Moon, watch over my child Wind, whisper love to my baby In the town, in the country, in the wild Earth, please hold up my baby Water, replenish my child Air, won’t you sing to my baby In the town, in the country, in the wild Even if we’re apart Even if we’re afraid Even if the world changes those plans that we made Even in the dark Even in a storm Our love will keep us warm

There’s a Girl Named George who has to sleep now If you ask for George she’s fast asleep now If you want to play with George today with George You’ll have to wait for George to wake There’s a girl named George whose eyes are closing You’ll see little George has started dozing If you hope to sing with George or swing with George You’ll have to wait for George to wake Go on sleeping George Go on Sleeping George There’s a girl named George Who’s sleeping deeply If you watch her doze she’ll make you sleepy If you want to talk with George or walk with George You’ll have to wait for George to wake Go on Sleeping George Go on sleeping George Go on sleeping George

Reuben likes to grab things And Reuben likes to crawl Reuben likes to climb things Which means he sometimes falls But Reuben climbs back up again He’ll give you a big smile and then He’ll reach out for his moms For comfort and for calm Reuben likes the chickens And Reuben likes the eggs Reuben likes his brother Even when he pulls his legs But he knows when he’s had enough He’ll move away if it gets too rough He’ll reach out for his moms For comfort and for calm And Reuben gets tired And sometimes he cries And Reuben’s face tells you It’s time to rest his eyes And sing him Reuben’s Lullaby Reuben wakes up happy And he sleeps happy too There’s sometimes when he doesn’t So he’ll stay awake with you But everyone needs rest sometime Even boys who like to climb He’ll reach out for his moms For comfort and for calm And Reuben gets tired And sometimes he cries And Reuben’s face tells you It’s time to rest his eyes And sing him Reuben’s Lullaby Now, Reuben you’re tired You’ve climbed and you’ve cried The look on your face says It’s time to rest your eyes And listen to Reuben’s Lullaby

about

This project was born a few years ago when a friend wished I were nearby to sing lullabies to her son.

So I recorded some and wrote one and then wrote more for more children born to my friends. And now you can listen to them, too!

about

Emily Rainbow Davis Queens, New York

Formerly of the alterna-folk-pop band Bright Red Boots, Emily has been playing solo since the band scattered to the four corners of the earth. In the current chaos, Emily has returned to her dusty guitar and played the songs that make her feel better. Maybe they'll make you feel better too. She enjoys alliteration and plays a scratched up Seagull guitar named Nina. ... more
