Disclaimer: I own no part of Dragonball/Z/GT. I also do not own the song "Sleep Tight" it and all of the rights that go with it belong to Sara Brightman and her record company. I make no money on this fic, I just wrote it for fun.

Author's note: I was sitting at my computer yesterday, desperately trying to write the next chapter of Weep Not when I decided to download some mp3's. Well I thought that I'd search for one of my favorite artists (Sara Brightman) and see if she had any songs that I'd never heard. As if by magic this beautiful song appeared and I knew that it was destined to become one of my songfics. Enjoy everyone. Another note: I really don't describe the setting (I thought that it would clutter the story), so I'll tell you that this is Chichi rocking baby Goten to sleep.

Sad Lullaby

We saw Fantasia in a far off land

Cry for the living in the desert sand

They saw the battlefield where they would quell the enemy. Their ears are pierced by the cries of those who have suffered.

They waited underneath a splintered moon

To hear the beating of an ancient tune

I waited for the ones I loved with hands clasped in prayer. Only my son returned that day.

Sleep Tight

The reaper's waiting in the wings

Now I hold my little baby boy here, my husband's final gift to me.

Sleep Tight

To reap a man of many things

He shall never hold his son as a baby.

Sleep Tight

Look through the eyes of destiny

But he shall live on in this child, I see his spirit within him.

Sleep Tight

We find the kingdom but he holds the key

We live on because of your sacrifice.

I met a seer who believes and dreams

Our blood is running through eternal streams

I still love you Goku, in spite of everything I know that I do. I see our children now and know that something extraordinary came of us.

Dust you'll return and dust you shall remain

'Cos that's the only heart that beats and beats again

Do you hear my thoughts Goku? I shall miss you always though I know that part of you lives on.

Sleep tight

The reaper's waiting in the wings

Can you see me now Goku? Do you see this baby that I hold?

Sleep tight

To reap a man of many things

You can't touch him but please watch over him.

Sleep tight

Look through the eyes of destiny

I will let him choose his own destiny. He has your spirit so he will only be happy if he feels that freedom.

Sleep tight

We find the kingdom but he holds the key

Goodnight Goten.

Sleep tight
