Song Meaning of “Mary’s Lullaby” by Aine Minogue
Mary’s Lullaby speaks of the love of a mother for her child. It opens with the assurance that “nighttime shadows won’t ever touch you,” a promise of a mother’s loving embrace to keep her child safe. This is followed by imagery of the depths of the sea and a great eagle’s stoic wingspan, both symbols of protection.
The lullaby’s lyrics express a mother’s wish that her child will live in a world of harmony and love, that all her days will be filled with joy and understanding, and that she will “never want for something more.”
The message is clear: You have been given the best gift of all–the love of a mother. May this love shelter and protect you from the darkness of the world, and bring you a lifetime of light.
