When I was inside, my mother Her heartbeat kept me whole In perfect time together My mind, my body, my soul For there's nothing so sweet As my mother's heartbeat Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da My mother's heart was beating When I first touched the ground Safe in my mother's keeping Oh, I was safe and sound And there's nothing so sweet As my mother's heartbeat Now my mother's heart stopped beating One dark and dreadful day But all I heard was weeping The day I went away For there's nothing so sweet As my mother's heartbeat Beating, inside her womb Beating, inside my room Nobody loves me to sleep Beating, through my darkest night Beating, it's my rhythm of life The sound of my mother's heartbeat And my mother's heart is beating Somewhere in this earth And at night while I lay sleeping I'll dream sweet dreams of her For there's nothing so sweet As my mother's heartbeat Da-da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da
