There's no break from the sound of the siren's call
|
It will ring in your ears right to the dawn
|
Oh mother, oh mother don't look down
|
Cause your children, your children will soon be found
|
|
They were raised by your hands to love and fear
|
When they cried in the dark you held them near
|
Oh mother, oh mother don't be sad
|
Cause your children, your children will soon come back
|
|
You will hear them when they call across the sky
|
And find them forever in that sweet by and by
|
|
When it seems like the sky around you falls
|
And those faces you love you can't recall
|
Oh mother, oh mother don't you frown
|
Cause your children, your children are round you now
|
|
You will hear them when they call across the sky
|
And find them forever in that sweet by and by
|
And find them forever in the sweet by and by
|
|
