Sweet Little Child

Sweet little child, don't you cry
Mother's going to sit here while you die
If mother's tears scare you away
Sweet little child, don't you stray

Sweet little child, don't you pout
Mother can't take all the times you shout
If mother's screams sound so sad
Please sweet child, don't be bad

Sweet little child, don't you whimper
Mother can't hear your innocent whisper
If mother's anger hurts you so
Sweet little child, you have to listen when she says 'no'

Sweet little child, don't you deny
Mother can't be there when you try
If mother's absence makes you bleed
Sweet little child, your sadness must be decreed

Sweet little child, don't you understand?
Mother can't lend you her hand
If mother's avoidance never goes away
Sweet little child, there is nothing anyone could say

Sweet little child, don't you see
Mother is running to be free
If mother's worry makes you think
Sweet little child, you pushed her to the brink

Sweet little child, don't you cry
Mother's going to be here while you die
If mother cannot make you smile
Sweet little child, you have stolen her last mile

Sweet little child, don't you scream
Mother's tears can't help but stream
If mother's blood scares you
Sweet little child, you are seeing what is true

Sweet little child, don't you beg
Mother's vows are yours to pledge
If mother's words make not a stir in your heart
Sweet little child, you tear your mother apart

Sweet little child, I sing this song for you
Mother is sing words that ring true
If mother can't be there for you anymore
Sweet little child, mother has already hit the floor

Sweet little child, you pushed her to the edge
Mother can't hold tight to her pledge
If mother's blood is what you can see
Sweet little child, leave mother be
