Big momma, turn on
Big momma, turn on,
throw that switch to grow;
big momma, big momma turn on,
and let your waters flow:
you know you’ve got to show the circle
the way you move so fast and slow.
Hot poppa, stretch strong,
coverin’ the land and sea;
hot poppa, hot poppa stretch strong,
makin’ ev’ ry thing you see:
you know your momma’s gonna hold you
like the oak roots hold the tree.
Sweet sister, fly high,
and sing away the night;
sweet sister, sweet sister fly high,
like a starry silver kite:
you know your momma and your poppa
are gonna hold your strings real tight.
Little brother, sleep soft,
they’re watchin’ over you:
little brother, little brother sleep soft,
you know it’s all been done for you:
and when you surface from the night time
your dreams will shine on you.
