I will nurse the wound
Till the full moon
I will wash the blood
Though like the sack of ocean water broke the bank
Yea i will nurse you
For i gave birth to you
My sob
I pushed you out of myself as a nother
I pushed
Just as others do
But i never did that when i took care of you
Am your mother
Come back to me
When they heartbroke you
Don’t get depressed
Am your mother
I will nurse you
Little lion and my lioness
In my belly you ate
In my breats you enjoyed milk
So i know the best to give you
When you lack
Don’t get depressed
Don’t forget what i really did
Am the same person daughter
Am the same person son
Am your mother
I will nurse your wound
I gave you what i could
Why are you stressed now
Am i not your mother
The one that cried when you were injected
I felt your pain
Don’t be as if you don’t remember
I speak in large letters
I know your screams
All your crues
Your hungry mouth i do know kid
Your red face demanding i know it child
Come back to me while alive
Don’t die in silence
Don’t get depressed
Am your mother
I will nurse your wound
