Going through frustration  她們克服種種難關

Sing, make them hear  大聲唱出來，讓她們聽見

She works at nights, by the water  她晚上在岸邊旁從事性交易

She's gone astray, so far away  她踏上了一條不歸路

From her father's daughter  已不在是她父親眼中的寶貝女兒

Nobody matters like you"   除了你誰也不給

'You're life ain't gonna be nothing like my life'  你相較於我的人生將更非凡不同

You're gonna grow and have good life  你會漸漸長大並有個美好的未來

Why do you like the song?

Rockabye" is a song for single mothers. 

It is a lullaby to put a child to sleep and expresses the feeling of doing one's best to make a child happy.A woman is alone with her newborn son. The child has no father, so she has to raise it by herself.

The music is an enjoyable melody that describes a common occurrence in society. When listening to the music, you can feel the dangers of society, the difficulties of single-parent families, and the painful process of a mother raising her child through the lyrics.

Whenever I hear this song, I think of my mom. My mom is always so selfless and is not afraid to suffer even if she wants to make us happy. In the real world, there are many single mothers who have to take care of their work and family at the same time. Although there is nothing we can do to help them, we should not look at them differently.
