Lullabies and calming music

Now is the Time (Lullaby)

A soothing present-moment lullaby built around one gentle idea: now is the time to rest, with no need to run, chase, or think about tomorrow. A calm river, shining stars, and a glowing moon help little ones feel safe, still, and ready for sleep.

Close your eyes, my little one
The day is done, the night has come
Feel the quiet, soft and deep
Drifting gently into sleep

Now is the time, this breath, this space
No need to run, no need to chase
The stars just shine, the moon just glows
Rest, my love, the moment knows

Like the river, calm and wide
Let each thought just float on by
No tomorrow, no before
Just this stillness, nothing more

Now is the time, this breath, this space
No need to run, no need to chase
The stars just shine, the moon just glows
Rest, my love, the moment knows

Feel the air, so soft, so light
Feel your heart, so warm, so bright
You are safe, you are free
Here and now is all you need

Now is the time, this breath, this space
No need to run, no need to chase
The stars just shine, the moon just glows
Rest, my love, the moment knows

Sleep, my dear, in peace so true
The world is here, just holding you
