Mom

(album: Rocks & Honey - 2013)

A little baby told God I'm kind of scared.
Don't know if I wanna go down there.
From here it looks like a little blue ball
But it's a great big place and I'm so small.
Why can't I stay here with you?
Did I make you mad, don't you want me to?
God said oh child of course I do
But I've got life all planned for you.

So hush now little baby, don't you cry
There's someone down there waiting whose only goal in life
Is making sure you're always gonna be alright
A loving angel tendered tough and strong
It's almost time to go and meet your mom.

Now you'll never have a better friend
Or a warmer touch to tuck you in
She'll kiss your bruises your bumps and scrapes
'Cause when you're hurt her heart will break

So hush now little baby, don't you cry
'Cause there's someone down there waiting whose only goal in life
Is making sure you're always gonna be alright
A loving angel tendered tough and strong
It's almost time to go and meet your mom.

And when she's talking to you make sure you listen close
She's gonna teach you everything you'll ever need to know
Like how to mind your manners, to love and laugh and dream
She'll put you on the path that'll bring you home to me.

Hush now little baby, don't you cry
There's someone down there waiting whose only goal in life
Is making sure you're always gonna be alright
A loving angel tendered tough and strong
Come on child it's time to meet your mom
