************************************


Take your hand close to my heart and let it sleep
My baby, my heart, the part of my soul I could not keep
I wish I could hear your heart beat, calling my name
I wish I was there instead of you, I feel so shame

Baby! Why don't you answer me, and blink your eyes
Answer me please they are all telling me lies
They tell me you are gone, and not with me anymore
What bad thing you did my son, so they killed you for

Six months, god have taken you from me, so unfair
To touch these tiny holes in your body, I just don't dare
I hope you tell me where it hurt I will make it go away
Just a word, tell me my child, just talk for today

Sleep good, and rest your little head, my Hun
So I tell you the story of this country, my son
So I may sleep with you forever in your bed
After all my words to you have been said

To whom I am going to sing my lullaby
How those days are going to pass by
Without you in my arms holding you tight
And rocking your cradle all days and night

Time stood still, as I see you lying here
How can a mother pass over this fear.
Take my heart, and eyes and my mind
I cannot see you like this, I wish to be blind

Where is God! Where are YOU? Come and SEE
What their hands have done to my BABY
Now I know what Virgin Mary felt back then
You died once, but I am dying more than ten
