What are those, dear mother? Fiery streaks in the sky The night is dark But filled with burning light Maybe it's just lightning Go to sleep, my child Maybe it's just lightning We'll hide for a while Mother, I can't breathe too good I'm coughing day and night There's black spots in the corner Of the wall to the right Come and sleep near me child Soon it'll be alright I'll find us somewhere else child So you won't cough at night Ah, ah Ah, ah Ah, ah Ah Today in school We had to talk about our lives I said I'd lived in ten homes But now it looks just like We'll have to move again In a fortnight We just move when we had to Mother sighed Everywhere and every country You will find her there Leading with heart Leading with care Going through the unimaginable Doubted, judged, and blamed But still do fall in hard times To keeping you safe To keeping us safe Oh, oh
