[Verse 1: Justin]
Mom, how are you?
We don't always see each other anymore
I miss you so much
It’s always us who you put first
Can't you go first this time?
I’d bear the worries now
[Pre-Chorus 1: Stell]
Because you are my eyes
Everytime the world is changing
The reason of my breathing
[Chorus: Pablo, Stell]
So don't worry, close your eyes
Stop crying, rest for now, I'll take care of it
You've done too much
Mom, rest first
Let me do it
La-ta-ra-ta-ra, la-ta-ra-ta-ra
La-ta-ra-ta-ra-ta-ra, la-ta-ra, la-ta

[Verse 2: Josh]
Dad, do you still remember, yeah
When I was young, right?
You prepared my heart
For the things that the world brings
I carry your evеry advice
And to the end, еven we are apart
I will stand, promise
My father
[Pre-Chorus 2: Ken]
Because you are my feet
Whenever I’m already crawling
The reason of my breathing
[Chorus: Stell, Pablo]
So don't worry, close your eyes
Stop crying, rest for now, I'll take care of it
You've done too much
Dad, rest first
Let me do it
La-ta-ra-ta-ra, la-ta-ra-ta-ra
La-ta-ra-ta-ra-ta-ra, la-ta-ra, la-ta
La-ta-ra-ta-ra, la-ta-ra-ta-ra
La-ta-ra-ta-ra-ta-ra, la-ta-ra, la-ta
[Bridge: Pablo]
Yeah, I won't waste any more breaths
I will go now to where the important things are, whoa
I will not be lost anytime
For I brought the map
Wherever I go, I know where I came from, whoa
[Breakdown: Ken]
So don't worry, close your eyes
Stop crying, rest for now
Let me do it
[Chorus: All]
So don't worry, close your eyes
Stop crying, rest for now, I'll take care of it
You've done too much (Whoa)
Mom, Dad, rest first
Let me do it
[Post-Chorus: All]
La-ta-ra-ta-ra, la-ta-ra-ta-ra
La-ta-ra-ta-ra-ta-ra, la-ta-ra, la-ta
La-ta-ra-ta-ra, la-ta-ra-ta-ra
La-ta-ra-ta-ra-ta-ra, la-ta-ra, la-ta
Ohh...
Mom, Dad, ooh, Mom, Dad
Ohh...
Mom, Dad, rest first
Let me do it
