Mama lay me down Gently rock away the tears Mama lay me down I still need you after all these years Mama whisper to me Tell me to pick myself off the floor Mama whisper to me I haven't the fight to fight anymore Mama raise my head Help me fight against the pain Mama raise my head Help me remember who I am again Mama wish me sweet dreams To put these nightmares to bed Mama wish me sweet dreams And a new path for my feet to tread Mama lay me down Gently rock away the tears Mama lay me down I still need you after all these years
