Lyrics:

Go to sleep now, MarikaDon''t lie awake like your Da''Go to sleep now, MarikaYou don''t know how lucky you are.You never heard the radioYou never read the newsAnd you don''t know what they''re doing to your worldAnd how much you stand to lose.Go to sleep now, MarikaMarika, go to sleepDon''t you cry, my MarikaFor far across the sea...Children have more to cry aboutThan either you or me.Yesterday on the evening late newsI saw a baby cry like you.Sitting in the ruins of a homeWith no one left to turn to.Don''t you cry now, MarikaMarika, don''t you cryDon''t you fret now, the sound outsideIs only traffic noise.And that shouting from the street belowIs only noisy boysAnd those aeroplanes that fly high above the houseCarry only people here.That rumbling going down along the roadIs only the buses you hear.Don''t you fret now, MarikaMarika, don''t you fretDon''t you fret now, MarikaWill you try to forget?
