sensitive recollections

holy mother

why are you weeping?

holy mother

why are you sad?

don't you know your children love you?

keep them safely from the prince of lies

why are you sleeping?

holy mother

why aren't you glad?

don't you know your children love you?

don't you know?

while you're sleeping their lives pass you by

cannot cross the street

see how they're beaming

when you find the chance

to take their hand and keep them from the lie

see how they're beaming

holy mother

don't you know your children love you?

don't you know?
