Rock a Bye Baby

Rock-a-bye baby, hush don't you cry
Mama's still here, right by your side
Even miles away, I'm holding you close
You're not on your own
You're not on your own
Mama's always there
There's a way back home

I told you there's no monster there
No shadow in your room
Checked under beds, turned on the lights
Said I'd always get to you

Now I'm standing on the outside
And I can't reach through

And the thing I said was never real
Is laying right next to you

I reach for you, then I let go
'Cause I know what it might do
My silence ain't surrender now
It's me protecting you

Rock-a-bye baby, hush don't you cry
Mama's still here, right by your side
I'd take a thousand cuts just to keep you safe

Rock-a-bye baby, don't be afraid
When the truth breaks through everything he made
And his mask falls off — you'll see it clear

You're not on your own
You're not on your own
Mama's always there
There's a way back home

I see you freeze when the phone lights up
Like every move's being watched
Words get quiet, shoulders tight
Like your voice might cost too much

We used to laugh and lose track of time
Now every moment feels controlled

I didn't see it then — but now
I know what you were holding

They can fill your head with noise
Try to twist what you believe
But deep inside, your heart's still loud
And it still knows me

Rock-a-bye baby, hush don't you cry
Mama's still here, right by your side
I'd take a thousand cuts just to keep you safe

Rock-a-bye baby, don't be afraid
When the truth breaks through everything he made
And his mask falls off — you'll see it clear

If this song finds you somewhere
Through the noise inside your head
Just remember who you are
Before the fear was fed

Say my name — no questions asked
I'll be right there when you call

Rock-a-bye baby, hush don't you cry
Mama's still here, I'm still on your side
You're not on your own
You're not on your own
Mama's always there
There's a way back home
