HUSH LITTLE BABY

by brent-kincaid

Hush little baby Stop crying now Mama’s well trained I will show you how. Lock your feelings up inside Don’t let them out until you’ve died. Stop little baby Don’t you feel! Keep your soul In a heart of steel. Promise Mama that you won’t. Love breaks everyone’s heart if you don’t. Sleep little baby That does the trick Crying all day Can make you sick. Nobody like a kid who cries No one will come to sing you lullabies. Good little baby Never says a word. Quietest baby I have ever heard. No one would ever guess That inside you are a mental mess. Hush little baby Stop crying now Mama’s well trained I will show you how. Lock your feelings up inside Don’t let them out until you’ve died.
