Evynne Hollens - Rockabye

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
