lyrics

Maternity Leave

(Verse 1)
My 27th year was one of the worst
2019’s like I was stuck in a curse
Which in retrospect I needed to be humbled at first
To help me see there’ll always be more to discover and search
Then that’s when everything had changed on this earth
The moment that I witnessed my sister had just given birth
After waiting all day they were anxious to see
What their weight and the features in their faces would be
And when we met it nearly blew our minds
Cause there’s nothing more alive than a new borns eye
Your Mother’s love you and I love you the same
Cause your Mother’s are my Sister’s and your blood’s in my veins
Unsure of how to be, I’m in awe, wow!
Now they’re the legacy to carry on their Mom’s smile
Walked over unprepared to see her closer
Went to pick her up but I’m too scared to even hold her
Better yet I’m terrified when they get older
This world’s become intensified and even colder
And I’ll always be here for you to cry up on my shoulder
That’s why your parents are taking the time right now to mold ya
And now they’re attached from half a smirk
From the beautifulest girl on this massive earth
Cause when she looks she sees half of her
And the last thing she wants is to go back to work
Cause it’s McKenna and Poppy they wanna see
But nothing comes free and Mommy don’t wanna leave
Kind of reminds me of what happened to me
When my Mom went back to work I felt so sad that I weeped
Cause I didn’t understand Uncle Sam then
But he put us in a scam that we can’t mend
Left me speechless on those long bus trips
I don’t want to see my nieces growing up like this
I wanna see them grow to follow their dreams
But I don’t wanna see them broke living stuck like me
I wanna see them shine like the sunlight beams
I wanna see them rise and become like Queens
To empathize and to love like fiends
And to form their own conclusions as to what life means
Cause as we know that they grow so quickly
Adorable little girls we both hold stiffly
From you both what I’ve learned is how to get it done
The right way, you both deserve this more than anyone
But still it’s hard though with no days off
It’s like a full-time overnight non paid job
But the reward makes it worth it all
And you’ll forever be adored for the girls you are
Like what a wonderful world of ours
If I could I would offer you all of the earth and stars

(Chorus)
That’s why I’m terrified when they get older
This world’s become intensified and even colder
Cause it’s McKenna and Poppy they wanna see
But nothing comes free and Mommy don’t wanna leave
And now they’re attached from half a smirk
From the beautifulest girl on this massive earth
Cause when she looks she sees half of her
And the last thing she wants is to go back to work
