Mmm Marie, the pops' disappear
This talks about a possible scenario of the absence of fathers in the children's lives, making these single moms' jobs even more challenging.

In the round back can't find him nowhere

Rockabye, don't bother cry
Once again, the mother soothes her child, promising him that he is safe, secure and he has nothing to worry about.

Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky
She tells him to look up and see beyond the present situation, and remember that, despite the visible obstacles, there are opportunities for greatness and triumph.

Angels surround you, just dry your eye
This line can be interpreted in different ways, but it serves to reassure her child that in the face of all adversities, forces stronger than us surround us to protect us- invisible forces that always make way for us.
