Rock-A-Bye Baby

~Rock-a-bye, baby In the treetop When the wind blows The cradle will rock When the bough breaks The cradle will fall And down will come baby Cradle& all~

Pretty baby, Pretty baby 
Will you be the one that saves me? 

9months I awaited for your arrival 
There was only us 2, for my parents found out& treated me in denial 
Alone& searching for a new home 
These past 9months I have grown 
I learned what it was like to lose& recieve pain 
You my love, is the only thing that keeps me sane 

I packed up my stuff& left 
The memories of you& me together was what I kept 
The lullabies I sang 
For both of us, each& everyday 
In life, I found out what it was like to have a true friend 
She helped a broken piece of my heart mend 
Together, the 3 of us build our life 
Everything was fairy tale like, until she died along with Mr. Knife 


She left me a note that explained her reasons 
That day I will remember each& every season 
I looked at the stars& cried for help 
I sang, I drew& I rhymed to find myself 
My stomach grew 
And the love I always had was you 
You've appeared to me in my dreams 
Its as crazy as it seems 


Day& might, of you I only thought 
With life& despair I fought 
I can't wait to cradle you in my arms 
To protect& shield you from harm 
I hope when you grow older& I sing this song 
You'll be next to me, singing along 


Pretty baby, Pretty baby 
Will you be the one that saves me?
