Kamaskera Cradle Chant

Rest now, rest now, little one,
Stars are waking, day is done,
Tenor calls — the low voices hold,
Night is warm, though the sky is cold.

Rest now, rest now, close your eyes,
Savanna wind sings lullabies,
Every star knows where you sleep,
Every star a watch will keep.

Rest now, rest now, do not fear,
Four old voices singing near,
One for courage, one for peace,
One for shelter, one for release.

Rest now, rest now, breath by breath,
Darker sky means deeper rest,
Moon will walk from east to west,
Guarding you upon her quest.

Rest now, rest now, here we stand,
Star and song and open hand,
When the dawn begins to climb,
We will sing another time.
