Take your hands
Your mother's hands
Fold them in your dress
All the time I've known you've had them out
Flashed about
Helping where you can
Ohhh
You give and give
and give and give
and it's
time to rest
Now you need to
Breathe it in
I want you to recede
Go to sleep
I will watch over you
Nothing will go wrong
I won't sit until you're strong
I've got lots to give
I've got all of you gave to me
All you've given to me
Breathe it in
Mama go to sleep
