There's no break from the sound of the siren's call

It will ring in your ears right to the dawn

Oh mother, oh mother don't look down

Cause your children, your children will soon be found

They were raised by your hands to love and fear

When they cried in the dark you held them near

Oh mother, oh mother don't be sad

Cause your children, your children will soon come back

You will hear them when they call across the sky

And find them forever in that sweet by and by

When it seems like the sky around you falls

And those faces you love you can't recall

Oh mother, oh mother don't you frown

Cause your children, your children are round you now

You will hear them when they call across the sky

And find them forever in that sweet by and by

And find them forever in the sweet by and by
