lyrics

In the food isle, staring at a shelf,
I saw your mother frozen tired and caught up in herself
While all around you, the people walking by
Were thinking of the one thing that might
Put stop to your cries

Hey little one, why won’t she pick you up?
Lying there, screaming for your milk

On the Red Line, I heard you crying out
My eyes afraid to look too much in case they made her shout
All alone there, my heart did slowly bleed
I prayed someone would find you,
Bring you all the things you need

Hey little one, why won’t she pick you up?
Lying there, screaming for your milk

When you’re all grown and start to find your way
I hope that someone finds you
Cause I know you’ll run away.
