Interesting facts and trivia about Sleep Like A Baby Tonight. By Songfacts®.

This sarcastic lullaby finds Bono tackling child abuse within the Catholic church: You're gonna sleep like a baby tonight In your dreams, everything is alright Tomorrow dawns like a suicide But you're gonna sleep like a baby tonight Bono commented in the album booklet: "Some can live with cruelty and abuse. Some have to… When the children of any church aren't served, but are instead enslaved by an abuse of power, extraordinary acts of atonement are required to put things back together. Honesty is just the starting point… secrets can make you sick. Ireland in the '70s was a tough place."
