She works the night, by the water
She's gonna stray, so far away
From her father's daughter
She wants a life for her baby
All on her own, no one will come
She's got to save him
She tells him, "Ooh, love
No one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you"
She tells him, "Your life
Ain't gonna be nothing like my life
You're gonna grow and have a good life
I'm gonna do what I've got to do"
So, rockabye baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Somebody's got you
Rockabye baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Rockabye
Rockabye
Single mom, what you doing out there?
Facing the hard life without no fear
Just see and know that you really care
'Cause any obstacle come you well prepared
And no, mama, you never shed a tear
'Cause you have things said year after year
And you give the youth love beyond compare
You find the school fee and the bus fare
Hmm, when the paps disappear
In a wrong bar, can't find him nowhere
Steadily your work flow, heavily you know
So you "nah stop, no stop, no time for your jeer"
Now she got a six-year-old
Trying to keep him warm
Trying to keep out the cold
When he looks in her eyes
He don't know he is safe
When she says, "Ooh, love
No one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you"
So, rockabye baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Somebody's got you
Rockabye baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Rockabye
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Angels around you, just close your eyes
So, rockabye baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry (don't you cry)
Somebody's got you
Rockabye baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
(All these angels, all around
Lift to the sky
All these angels, all around)
Just lift your eyes
