A little baby told God, "I'm kind of scared
Don't know if I want to go down there
From here it looks like a little blue ball
But it's a great big place and I'm so small
Why can't I stay here with you?
Did I make you mad, don't you want me too?"
God said, "Oh child, of course I do
But I've got life all planned for you"
So hush now little baby, don't you cry
There's someone down there waiting whose only goal in life
Is making sure you're always gonna be alright
A loving angel, tender, tough and strong
It's almost time to go and meet your mom
Now you'll never have a better friend
Or a warmer touch to tuck you in
She'll kiss your bruises, your bumps and scrapes
'Cause when you're hurt her heart will break
So hush now little baby, don't you cry
'Cause there's someone down there waiting whose only goal in life
Is making sure you're always gonna be alright
A loving angel, tender, tough and strong
It's almost time to go and meet your mom
And when she's talking to you make sure you listen close
She's gonna teach you everything you'll ever need to know
Like how to mind your manners, to love and laugh and dream
She'll put you on the path that'll bring you home to me
Hush now little baby, don't you cry
There's someone down there waiting whose only goal in life
Is making sure you're always gonna be alright
A loving angel, tender, tough and strong
Come on child, it's time to meet your mom
