lyrics

When the water breaks and falls
Aroon’ my aching feet,
I can feel my baby callin’
But the call is nae sae sweet.
‘Cos I know it’s time to meet them
But I’m suddenly sae scared,
Then you come on in and calm me
Though I know I’m unprepared.

Push and pull, your body knows
Just what it needs to do.
We are here to keep you safe and
Set your sails for journeys new…

We made a plan and knew it well
Envisioned natal bliss.
But there’s risks and complications
So the plans have gone amiss.
And it isna whit I winted
But you tell me I’m OK.
And I know I’m in the safest hands
So trust in all you say.

Push and pull, your body knows
Just what it needs to do.
We are here to hold you steady
Setting sails for journeys new…

It’s agony in ebbs and flows
Push-pulling like the moon.
Oh the waitin’s so frustratin’
I jist wint it ower soon.
It’s harder breathin’ deeper
When there is nae shore in sight,
But you tell me that we’re almost there
I really hope you’re right.

Push and pull, your body knows
Just what it needs to do.
We are here to catch and carry
Setting sails for journeys new…

Now tides of pain rip through me
And am makin’ sic’ a scene,
Oh, I cana bear this onymare
Oh, God fit hiv I deen?
And I’m greeting for my mither
For my sweetheart is nae ease
And fan I need that comfort now
It’s you that gies me peace.

Push and pull your body knows
Just what it needs to do.
We are with you bearing witness.
Setting sails for journeys new.

And then I hear the cryin’…
And she’s in my airms at last…
I’m drowned in waves of oxytocin
Now I’m hame. The storm has passed.
And I’ll ne’er forget yer kindness,
Or your patience, or yer smile,
For in my deepest seas of darkness
You were with me a’ the while.

Push and pull your body knows
Just what it needs to do.
We will be with women always
We are on the journey too.

And we will pass the privilege on
Before our days are through.
We are with women always
Setting sails for journeys new.
