Lyrics

What are those, dear mother?
Fiery streaks in the sky
The night is dark
But filled with burning light
Maybe it's just lightning
Go to sleep, my child
Maybe it's just lightning
We'll hide for a while

Mother, I can't breathe too good
I'm coughing day and night
There's black spots in the corner
Of the wall to the right
Come and sleep near me child
Soon it'll be alright
I'll find us somewhere else child
So you won't cough at night

Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah

Today in school
We had to talk about our lives
I said I'd lived in ten homes
But now it looks just like
We'll have to move again
In a fortnight
We just move when we had to
Mother sighed

Everywhere and every country
You will find her there
Leading with heart
Leading with care
Going through the unimaginable
Doubted, judged, and blamed
But still do fall in hard times
To keeping you safe
To keeping us safe

Oh, oh
