00:00You know things may not always make sense right now
00:02But hey, remember what I always tell you
00:04Straighten up, little soldier
00:06Stiffen that upper lip, what's got you down? You got me
00:08Holly, I know you miss your mom and you miss your dad
00:10When I'm gone, I'm trying to give you the life I never had
00:13I see you're sad, even when you smile or laugh
00:16Your eyes say you wanna cry, scared because I'm not there
00:19But I'm always with you in your prayers
00:21No more tears, no more nightmares
00:23We'll get through this together, uncle's a little crazy
00:26But he loves you, we're all we've got in this spinning
00:28Confusing world, two beautiful girls, love for the days
00:31Daddy's always busy, mama's on the news
00:33And I tried to shield you from it all
00:35But somehow, the more I tried, the more it backfired
00:37The things I saw growing up, I didn't want you to see
00:40But you've seen it all
00:42We didn't plan for things to turn up this way
00:44But it's out of our control
00:45No more worries now, rest your head, go to sleep
00:48Maybe one day we'll wake up and it'll all feel like a dream
00:51Hush, little one, don't cry
00:53Everything's gonna be alright
00:57Hold on tight, I'm here for you
00:59I know it's confusing, it might be dark
01:01But I promise, mama's gonna be alright
01:05I remember a time when I had no money
01:07Mommy wrapped Christmas presents and said they were from me
01:10Because I couldn't buy them
01:11At Christmas, I cried all night, daddy felt like a failure
01:14Even though I was working to keep food on the table
01:17Every house we lived in got broken into
01:19Your mom saved money for your future
01:21But someone stole it and it broke her heart
01:23Things started falling apart, mom and dad fought
01:25Then your mom moved out, I went to California
01:28Trying to make it while you and mommy had to leave
01:30And you saw me on TV, but mama didn't like it
01:33You were too young to understand
01:34And mama developed a habit
01:36Everything spun out of control
01:37I'm sorry you had to see it all
01:39Now I sit here, looking at your baby pictures
01:41Thinking about how much you've both grown
01:43You and lady, almost like sisters, daddy's still here
01:45I like the sound of that
01:47Mama's just gone for a moment
01:50Hush, little one, don't cry
01:53Everything's gonna be alright
01:56Hold on tight, I'm here for you
01:58I know it's confusing with mommy, dad
02:00But I promise mama's gonna be alright
02:02And if you ask, I'll buy you a mockingbird
02:05I'll give you the world
02:08A diamond ring, anything to make you smile
02:13And if that mockingbird won't sing
02:16Or the ring won't shine
02:17I'll make it right
02:20Now our message, we're done
02:35And if you ask, I'll buy you a mockingbird
02:38I'll give you the world
02:41A diamond ring, anything to make you smile
02:46And if that mockingbird won't sing
02:48Or the ring won't shine
02:51I'll make it right
02:53Now our message, we're done
