Lullaby for the Newly Hatched (SAB)
A simple lullaby about watching sea turtles hatch and finding one’s own way.
-
Lullaby for the Newly Hatched
SAB chorus & piano
This luminous lullaby narrates the experience of watching sea turtles hatch, guiding the listener through darkness with tender repetition and quiet resolve. Its imagery embeds real aspects of a baby sea turtle’s journey—the struggle to find the light of the moon and walk toward the sea—in a larger metaphor about finding the right path.
Composer’s Notes
Lullaby for the Newly Hatched was premiered by Cantabile (Angelica Cantanti Youth Choirs), Michelle Gehrz, Conductor.

Text
All through the night,
Walk toward the moon,
Walk toward the light,
You’ll be there soon.
When brightest light is false light
Eclipsing the moon and the stars,
Where waves have washed over the right path,
I can only take you so far
So all through the night,
Walk toward the moon,
Walk toward the light,
You’ll be there soon.
You’ll tunnel your way toward the sky,
The higher you go the lighter the sand.
Follow the light that you know.
When you are nearer you’ll understand
And all through the night,
Walk toward the moon,
Walk toward the light,
You’ll be there soon.
