selman - lullaby (original lyrics video)

this song is dedicated to all of the children and mothers who are behind bars due to false accusations. even if we don’t know your name, we know you’re out there, we hear your voice, we are here for you. stay strong, good days are not far away.

LYRICS:

nights are cold, dark, and gray
i miss the warm nights at our old place
don't know why things are this way
my momma says this is our fate

i wake up from nightmares every night
it's always me saying my dad goodbye
with my momma’s voice singing my lullaby
now i hear her praying in the moonlight

i ask her what keeps her up every night
she hugs me, she kisses me, she tells me

this should‘ve been a lullaby
you laying under starry skies
fairy tales instead of this
shouldn’t see your mother cry

this should’ve been a lullaby

this should’ve been a lullaby

curses wander through the walls
strangers yelling behind closed doors
no, I can’t take this anymore
my momma’s been treated like a prisoner of war

covering my ears, shivering in fear
loud noises but i don’t wanna hear
broken hearts but they won’t heal
momma can you just tell me why we’re still here

and as she’s trying not to cry
she hugs me, she kisses me, she tells me

this should‘ve been a lullaby
you laying under starry skies
fairy tales instead of this
shouldn’t see your mother cry

this should‘ve been a lullaby

this should‘ve been a lullaby

(oh no)

this should‘ve been a lullaby
you laying under starry skies
fairy tales instead of this
shouldn’t see your mother cry

this should’ve been a lullaby

this should’ve been a lullaby

this should‘ve been a lullaby
you laying under starry skies
fairy tales instead of this
you shouldn’t see your mother cry

this should‘ve been a lullaby
you laying under starry skies
fairy tales instead of this
not seeing your father say goodbye

this should’ve been a lullaby
