lyrics

Mamas Should Know - Nikki Speake

We swirl around in an endless space. Just points of light in a beautiful place.
Into this world we are thrown; without a dream, without a home.
And if you die before we wake, don’t leave it all up to us to figure it out alone.
Mamas should know what to leave when they go, if they’re not ready to fly.
What to reap, what to sow, what to leave for the crow.
Write it down, so we’ll know.

We walk around in an empty daze. Our voices lost, or were they just replaced?
Into this world we will grow, maybe we’ll find a dream to find it gone.
And if you die before we wake, don’t leave it all up to us to figure it out alone.
Mamas should know what to leave when they go. If they’re not ready to fly.
What to reap, what to sow, what to leave for the crow.
How to laugh, how to cry, how to stand tall without too much pride.
Write it down, so we’ll know.
