I listen to my babe inhale

I listen to my babe exhale

I hope my babe is feeling well

When my babe suffers, me as well



I’m incomplete in every way

I forgot to feed my babe today

I took my babe up on the hill

With no idea my babe is ill



How is it I care so much

And still forget important stuff

It seems my babe’s not even here

It seems my babe has disappeared



I spent a while away from home

I went to see life on my own

I kept my babe out of my mind

I pretended that this heart’s not mine



On returning home I found

My babe was dug into the ground

My babes’ heart was clean and pure

The man had said there was no cure



My babe cried ‘please let me out’

I couldn’t hear cause I had doubts

About the things I can’t control

So far away where life is cold
