“No Lullaby” | 2nd Place
Jeremy Holan
Omaha, Nebraska

Today was dressed up
All in black
My head was hung
Down by the tracks
Where a man once walked
Rings the lonely sound
Of a train passed by
Over hallowed ground

Now all the night winds wail
All the cowboys cry
Themselves to sleep
With no lullaby

Time has stilled
A weary mind
Heavy heart shed its skin
A mighty shadow left behind
The heavens and
The earth are torn
All the angels sing
All the sinners mourn

All the night winds wail
All the cowboys cry
Themselves to sleep
With no lullaby

There was a time
When a current filled
The souls of men with
The grace of God revealed
Now cold lightning aches
Through silent sky
Outside a lonely storm
Can only cry, cry, cry

And all the night winds wail
All the cowboys cry
Themselves to sleep
With no lullaby
