A Mother Never Rests
Unwavering Love: A Mother's Sacrifice
Lyrics
Well here's what I know
Starting with what the speaker knows or understands
Even when she's sleepin'
Even during her rest, the mother continues to think about her child
She's still dreamin' about you
The mother's dreams during sleep involve thoughts or concerns about her child
That's the way that it goes
That's the nature of motherhood
Even when she's laughin'
Despite her laughter, a part of her is anxious about potential undone tasks regarding her child
Part of her is worryin' there's somethin' she didn't do
She worries about things left unfinished or undone for her child
She only sits four minutes, she's a hummin'bird in the livin' room
The mother is always active and barely sits down, symbolized as a hummingbird in constant motion
She's a silhouette smilin' with the weight of the world on her chest
Despite carrying immense responsibilities, she maintains a smiling facade
She'll move a mountain for you by the afternoon
She is capable of accomplishing extraordinary tasks for her child within a short time
A mother never rests
A mother's duty is ceaseless
She works in colors
She works with brightness and positivity
It's her and the sun
Her and the sun symbolize her efforts to bring light and warmth to everyone around her
Wakin' up early, bringin' light to everyone
Early riser, spreading positivity to others
She's countin' on angels
Reliance on unseen help, possibly metaphorical
And she's hopin' they're there
Hoping for support from higher powers
But just in case, every time she says your name it's like a little prayer
Every mention of the child's name is akin to a prayer for their well-being
And there's wishin' stars for the hurt and Band-Aids for how it feels
She wishes away pain and offers comfort for wounds
And the nightlight's on so even the sun gets to set
Her care extends even to ensuring comfort during the night
She's a stubborn believer that time and a clean house is how ya heal
Belief in the healing power of time and orderliness
So a mother never rests
Motherhood is relentless, allowing no rest
There ain't a broken bone or a birthday that she'll forget
She remembers important details, both joyful and painful
She bit her lip and didn't cry the day your hatchback left
She endured silently when her child left, hiding her pain
And when you hurt she hurts, that's how it is
Her emotions are tied closely to her child's; she feels their pain deeply
That's how it is, I guess
It's the nature of their relationship, an inseparable bond
Well here's what I know
Reiteration of the speaker's understanding
Even when I'm sleepin'
Even in the speaker's dreams, thoughts revolve around the child
I'm still dreamin' all about you
The child remains a central focus even in the speaker's subconscious
