Lyrics
[Intro]
Call it love and devotion
Call it a mom's adoration, foundation
A special bond of creation
For all the single moms out there
Going through frustration
Clean Bandit, Sean-da-Paul, Anne-Marie
Sing, make them hear
[Verse 1]
She works the nights by the water
She's gone astray, so far away from her father's daughter
She just wants a life for her baby
All on her own, no one will come
She's got to save him (Daily struggle)
[PreChorus]
She tells him, "Ooh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you" (Stay up there, stay up there)
She tells him, "Your life ain't gon' be nothing like my life (Straight)
You're gonna grow and have a good life
I'm gonna do what I got to do" (Stay up there, stay up there)
[Chorus]
So, rockabye, baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don't you cry
Somebody's got you
Rockabye, baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don't you cry
[Refrain]
Rockabye, no (Rockabye, rocka-rocka-rockabye)
Rockabye, yeah, yeah, oh (Rockabye, rocka-rocka-rockabye)
[Verse 2]
Single mom, how're ya doin' out there?
Facing the hard life without no fear
Just so you know that you really care
Cross any obstacle, come, you're well prepared
No, Mama, you never shed tear
'Cause you have to shed things year after year
And you give the yout love beyond compare
You find the school fee and the bus fare
[Verse 3]
Mmm, already Pops disappear
In the wrong bar, can't find him nowhere
Steadily, your work flow, heavily you know
So you nah stop, no time, no time fi ya jeer
[Verse 4]
Now she got a six-year-old
Trying to keep him warm
Trying to keep out the cold
When he looks in her eyes
He gon' know he is safe when she says
[PreChorus]
"Ooh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you"
[Chorus]
So, rockabye, baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don't you cry
Somebody's got you
Rockabye, baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don't you cry
[Chorus]
Rockabye, no (Rockabye, rocka-rocka-rockabye)
Rockabye, yeah, yeah, oh (Rockabye, rocka-rocka-rockabye)
[Bridge]
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky, yo
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Angels surround you, just dry your eye
[Verse 5]
Now she got a six-year-old
Trying to keep him warm
Trying to keep out the cold
When he looks in her eyes
He don't know he is safe when she says
[PreChorus]
She tells him, "Ooh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you" (Stay up there, stay up there)
She tells him, "Your life ain't gon' be nothing like my life (Straight)
You're gonna grow and have a good life
I'm gonna do what I got to do" (Yeah)
So, rockabye, baby, rockabye (Rockabye, rocka-rocka-rockabye)
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don't you cry (Rockabye, rocka-rocka-rockabye)
Somebody's got you
Rockabye, baby, rockabye (Rockabye, rocka-rocka-rockabye)
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye, baby, don't you cry
[Refrain]
Alright then (Rockabye)
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky, yo (Rockabye)
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Angels surround you, just dry your eye, cah
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky, yo (Rockabye)
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Angels surround you, just dry your eye
