Mother's Lap

I know a place where I can lay my head,  

watch a movie, and imagine how it must have been.  

I know a place where I can lay my head,

think about my day, and think about my plans.

I know a place where I can lay my head,

get lost in dreams, and get a little rub.

I know a place where I can lay my head,

close my eyes, and hear a silent lullaby.
