Because

Because you are my daughter
I would part oceans and stop rivers for you
if needed I would lay down my life
to keep you warm and safe at night

Because you are my son
I would move the earth and moon for you
throw myself on a blade to spare your life
to keep you warm and safe at night

Because you are my love
I would serve my heart and soul up for you
if needed I would surely give my life
to keep you warm and safe at night

Because I am the woman I am
I will never steal or lie for you
to myself I must always stay true
so I can sleep warm and safe at night
