Fly Free, Little Baby
By Rohini Chandra
INTRO:
Hello, my little baby swaying
in the hammock of my hands
Your tiny head in my palms laying
As the miracle from our praying.
VERSE 1:
We’re patting the earth’s soil new
to grow a tree for your cocoon.
Let your monarch raise her wings
That’s the way we’ll raise you.
CHORUS:
Cuz we love you, little baby
Let our love rock your cradle.
So you can swing light ’n’ free.
POST-CHORUS
Swing free, little baby!
Fly free, little baby!
Cuz there’s nothin stopping you
To be what you want to be.
VERSE 2:
We can’t wait for turkey palm prints,
Be grateful on your 5th Thanksgiving
Reach for the shelf, no, reach for the sky
Grab the honey for Mom’s Custard pie
CHORUS:
Cuz we love you, little baby
Let our love rock your cradle.
So you can swing light ’n’ free.
VERSE 3:
When Momma comes home
She washes her hands clean
So she can tie on your wings
for you to defy earth’s gravity.
CHORUS:
Cuz we love you, little baby
Let our love rock your cradle.
So you can swing light ’n’ free.
POST CHORUS:
Swing free, little baby!
Fly free, little baby!
Cuz there’s nothin stopping you
To be what you want to be.
BRIDGE
Turn the woven pages, baby
Of our long family tree, so be
The first to canoe and run in fields.
Let your mind soar wild and free.
CHORUS:
Cuz we love you, little baby
Let our love rock your cradle.
So you can swing light ’n’ free.
