Rockabye

Call it love and devotion
Call it a mum's adoration
Foundation
A special bond of creation
Ha
For all the single mums out there
Going through frustration
Clean Bandit, Sean-da-Paul, Anne-Marie
Sing, make them hear

She works the nights by the water
She's gonna stress, so far away from her father's daughter
She just wants a life for her baby
All on her own, no one will come
She's got to save him (A daily struggle)
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" (Stay up there, stay up there)
She tells him, "Your life ain't gon' be nothing like my life
You're gonna grow and have a good life
I'm gonna do what I've got to do" (Stay up there, stay up there)

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, rocka-rocka-rocka-bye
Rockabye, rocka-rocka-rocka-bye

Single mum, how you doing out there?
Facing the hard life without no fear (Yeah)
Just so you know that we really care
'Cause any obstacle, girl, know we'll prepare
No, mama, you never shed tear
'Cause you have to shed things year after year
You give the youth love beyond compare
You find his school fee and the bus fare
Mmm, Marie, the paps disappear
In our own bar, can't find him nowhere
Steadily your workflow, evidently you know
Still you nah stop, no time, no time fi you dare
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, rocka-rocka-rocka-bye
Rockabye, rocka-rocka-rocka-bye

Rockabye, don't bother cry
Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky, yo
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Angels around you, just dry your eye
