|
Mama, rest your mind. |
|
I found a lover, she's gentle and kind. |
|
Finally it's the last in kind, |
|
So mama, rest your mind. |
|
Mama, calm your nerves. |
|
It could be so much worse. |
|
If this love's the devil's curse, |
|
I don't want your cure. |
|
If your old good book says its true |
|
Back of your knees locked to the seat of the pew. |
|
If it feels this painful and pure, |
|
I will reckon you. |
|
All you ask for is family. |
|
I've had your fists, your love, your suffering. |
|
All these years of coming clean, |
|
But never heard or seen. |
|
If your old good book says it's true, |
|
Back of your knees locked to the seat of the pew. |
|
If it feels this painful and pure, |
|
I will reckon you. |
|
Mama, dry your eyes. |
|
Forget about the fire. |
|
Look how my face smiles and shines. |
|
Can you learn to know your child? |
|
If your old good book says it's true, |
|
Back of your knees locked to the seat of the pew. |
|
If it feels this painful and pure, |
|
I will reckon you. |
|
I will reckon you. |
|
I will reckon you. |
