The song is about a woman (the speaker) who has a stillborn child, but still feels the attachment a mother feels towards her child, so instead of letting him be dead, she pretends he's still alive. She proceeds to rock him, nurse him, and love him, despite his being dead. At the same time she can't contemplate why any God would kill a child, hence "What fiend would take these tiny eyes and show them to the dark? Gods just a lie."
