Ella Bleu Travolta, who acted in 2019’s ‘The Poison Rose’, sang in the lullaby, "Little bird don't you cry / Would you stay awhile before I fly? / Close your eyes / Won't you smile / Sing a lullaby, it'll be alright / What do I say? / What is real? / When everybody tells me how to feel / What is mine? / How do I speak? / When every word is taken, chosen for me."

She continued while channeling her life’s lessons into music, "How do I know? / How do I grow? / I'll just take it day by day / But I just need to hear you say / My little bird, don't you cry, hear my lullaby it'll be alright / Little bird how you've grown / But somehow you still think, that you're on your own / With any voice that you choose, just remember it's a gift I gave to you."

Ella concluded poignantly, "I know it's always been us two / I'll sing this lullaby for you."
