Birth: To Earth

It's so cool to think that the very first person who greets your entrance into earth life is your mother! 

I love this cover version of these lyrics performed by Home Free.

"Mom"
by Home Free

A little baby told God, "Hey, I'm kinda scared
Don't really know if I want to go down there
From here it looks like a little blue ball
That's a great big place and I'm so small"

"Why can't I just stay here with you
Did I make you mad, don't you want me to?"
God said, "Oh, child, of course I do
But there's somebody special waiting for you"

[Chorus:]
So, hush now baby don't you cry
'Cause there's someone down there waiting
Whose only goal in fife
Is makin' sure you're always gonna be alright
A loving angel, tender, tough and strong
It's almost time to go and meet your mom

You'll never have a better friend
Or a warmer touch to tuck you in
She'll kiss your bruises, your bumps and scrapes
And anytime you hurt, her heart's gonna break

[Chorus:]
Now, when she's talking to you

Make sure you listen close

'Cause she's gonna teach you everything

You'll ever need to  know

Like how to mind your manners

To love and laugh and dream

And she'll put you on the path

That'll bring you back to Me

So, hush now little baby don't you cry

"Cause there's someone down there waiting

Whose only goal in life

Is making sure you're always gonna be alright

A loving angel, tender, tough and strong

Come on child

It's time to meet your mom.
