[Verse 1]

Baby baby, baby baby

You went home for Thanksgiving

Braced for the darkness

Of the disconnected life

Braced for the attacks from the easy chair

And when it was time to leave

You went to say goodbye

A flash went up your spine

Instead you said, no one, no one

Nobody, nobody

No one ever taught you but you know

[Verse 2]

Baby baby, baby baby

And as you went to leave

He half rose up from his easy chair

And tiny flames licked the walls

And up your mother’s calves

A storm was comin'

And you better get out of therе fast

So you went to say goodbye

A flash went up your spinе

Instead you said, I thank you

For all the things you sacrificed

He tried to curse you

But instead he begged forgiveness

And you held him as he cried

[Bridge]

You are the rage of a lion

In a cage at night

The roar of a mother

Bringing her baby back to life

[Verse 3]

Baby baby baby, baby baby baby

And when you reached the subway

You stumbled down the stairs

Confused by a different kind of pain

You drifted towards the track

And no one had your back

But the angels pressed

Through the frightened crowd

Someone screamed, a baby cried

No one told you, no one told you

Nobody, nobody, no one ever told you

But somehow you’ve always known

[Outro]

May you never be so alone again

May the subway tracks rise up

And throw you back to friends

May you feel the angels

Bend closer when you call

May you see your own beauty

As you'll see it in us all

But beyond all this, beyond all this

The nobleness of gristle and

The magnificence of grist

There's just one thing

You need recall and it is this

You always have been

And always will be well
