Sleep now, little one, the wooden church is still,

the coastal plain lies calm tonight, beneath the fading hill.

Dm Am E7
tomorrow’s sun will rise for you, and chase away all fear.

What “Ostrobothnia Lullaby” Means
Ostrobothnia’s flat coastal plains are dotted with tall wooden churches, and the land itself is still slowly rising from the sea after the last ice age. This original lullaby draws on those wooden-church and coastal-plain images of Ostrobothnian heritage.
