about

A tender expose of grief from a parent's perspective in relation to a missing child such as the MMIWG and recovered residential school children

lyrics

Hush little baby, don’t you cry

Gonna find you baby by and by 

Won’t let you lie out in the cold,

Down some unhallowed road undignified

Unhallowed road undignified 


Miss you my babe, I miss your smile,

(I) sit on your empty bed and we talk awhile

I reach my hand out into space,

Close my eyes to touch your face, but I’m denied

Touch your face, but I’m denied

Every night its the same old thing 

Look out my window and I start to sing

I wonder which direction that I just haven’t tried

I howl, I moan, I wail, I weep, I cry

Its my unforgotten lullaby, Unforgotten lullaby


My little baby, where can you be?

Every night I hear you cry out, in my sleep

I sit up straight and I listen close

Was that the wind? Was it your ghost crying out for me?

Was it your ghost crying out for me?


Every night its the same old thing 

Look out my window and I start to sing

I wonder which direction that I just haven’t tried

I howl, I moan, I wail, I weep, I cry

Its my unforgotten lullaby, 
Unforgotten lullaby

Unforgotten lullaby,
It’s my baby’s lullaby

Distinguished by Maverick Magazine as a "A Lady of Conviction" singer-songwriter, Phyllis Sinclair taps on the conscience of the established ethos to flag distinctions and inequities under a brilliant banner of song. With seraphic vocals she charmingly disarms, soliciting a self-imposed metamorphosis to transform old ways of thinking into new possibilities. ... more
