You’ve been on this earth for a short
little while
Yet you seem to understand what’s going on
So small and good-natured, your mama taught you well
You’re loved by one and all
So sweet and innocent since the day you were born
Unfortunately, I welcome you to our garbage world
Well now hush little baby don’t you cry
Cause mama’s gonna sing you a lullaby
Hey little girl now don’t you cry
Wipe them big blue eye’s dry
Your papa kissed his home goodbye
This ain’t bout you or I
Little girl
Oh little girl, listen to me
Hush now baby don’t you cry
Mama’s gonna sing you a lullaby
No need to worry you’ll grow up to be strong
At least that’s what my mama once told me
She said no use crying over things gone wrong
Just pick up the pieces and keep movin’ on
So I tell it like it is
Don’t be afraid, I know it ain’t easy
To overcome fear, so keep your stand tough
Keep your head high, keep your head high
And aim for the sky....
