Rock a bye Mama's lullaby Teach me how Let me grow Show me the ropes Tell me how not to wrong Make me see how strong we are Sky so full Possibilities So much more you cannot see Rock a bye Mama's lullaby I'm full grown gotta let me show Mama's child no longer small I'll see the world after all Rock a bye Mama's lullaby Rock a bye Mama's lullaby Rock a bye Mama's lullaby Please please Mama Don't you cry

I wrote "Mama" as an ode to my mother in honor of Mother's Day. "Rock a bye, lullaby" is a bit of a nursery rhyme that I grew up with. Being that mother's are usually known for singing lullabies to their children I thought it would be heartfelt to compose a lullaby for my mother.
