I go to sleep at night
peaceful
my son can walk the streets
peaceful
they say ignorance is bliss
that's true
but tonight my heart
breaks for you
my sister
you're a mother
I'm a mother too
but I'm not a mother like you
I can go to sleep at night
peaceful
my son can walk the streets
peaceful
I don't worry about that like you
because my son is white
tonight my heart breaks
for you
my sister
you're a mother
I'm a mother too
