Lyrics
O My God, won't you rock your children
Rock them in your great big arms (4x)
Newborn babies addicted to drugs
No Mother, No Father to give them love
Boarder Babies are how they're known
Raised in the hospital, they have no home
So I raise my voice to God Almighty
Give them mercy; move away harm
Wrap them in your heavenly love
O My God, won't you rock your children
Rock them in your great big arms (4x)
Shaking all over, screaming from pain
Suffering withdrawal, they crave cocaine
Boarder Babies are how they're known
With every breath, they fight to live
So I raise my voice to God Almighty
Give them mercy; move away harm
Wrap them in your heavenly love
O My God, won't you rock your children
Rock them in your great big arms (4x)
