Lyrics
[verse]
Kids are screaming, dishes in the sink,
Husband's working, doesn't stop to think,
She's got a schedule and a locked-up door,
Just five quiet minutes, nothing more.
[chorus]
Just a little quiet, just a little rest,
Just a little moment, just to catch her breath,
Mother needs a minute just to face the day,
Just to make the noise and the rush fade away.
[verse]
Vacuum's running, phone rings off the wall,
Nobody asks her how she's doing at all,
She smiles and nods and keeps the peace,
Steals a cup of tea for sweet release.
[bridge]
Nobody sees the cracks behind the perfect little smile,
Nobody stops to ask her if she's tired for a while,
The world keeps turning, and she keeps carrying it all.
[chorus]
Just a little quiet, just a little rest,
Just a little moment, just to catch her breath,
Mother needs a minute just to face the day,
Just to make the noise and the rush fade away.
