Rock to sleep
Hear your mama's lullaby
Little one, child of mine
Grow strong and learn to fly
When I'm gone
You'll say the mourner's prayer for me
Tell them how your father would look at me
Burning eyes full of light
All the days and every night
Breath so warm
As he whispered in my ear
Dancing through the winter skies
Love that never dies
Rock to sleep
Hear your mama's lullaby
Little one, child of mine
Grow strong and learn to fly
When I'm gone
You'll say the mourner's prayer for me
Tell them how I was young and full of fire
Fields of green lay ahead
Always your father said
You were born
With tiny hands and glowing cheeks
How we wondered, held you close
Mother's eyes and father's nose
Days will pass
As the waves drift out to sea
But a mother's prayer is heard
With a breath and with a word
May you be a person
Like your father was before
Nothing less, and nothing more
