Called to be wrong for those below You told me life was long but now that it's gone You find yourself on top as the leader of a flock Helpless she lies across the stairs Haunting your days, consuming your breath There will be healing but don't force this

Mama don't cry no more Wipe those tears from your eyes Mama, theres so many nights we sleep in a bundle like a flock of sheep Ooh..better days are there for sure Oh I will bear the hunger, we poor Mama, theres so many times we go through days without

There will be an answer, let it be. Speaking words of wisdom, let it be. Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be, Mother Mary comes to me When I find myself in times of trouble And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me Whisper

Wandering away Will I shed one more tear for my broken family And have a glass of whiskey with another friend That has nowhere to be Get my feet on the road they feel much better there Gonna stop trying some day some year I meant it when I told her I

And why should I care? Was there something more I could have done? Or was I not meant to be the one? Where´s the life I thought we would share? And should I care? And will someone else get more of you? Will she go to sleep more sure of you? Will she

If you believe her word, no matter what you've heard Anybody say about it, there's no life for you without it now A woman's love goes deeper than the man's Into a place only she understands It's a healing touch, it's a blade of a knife But so much love,

And if I cry two tears for her This shit's special That will be the most that I would give to her She left me stranded in my nightmares Taking pictures of my memories she right there Twisting on the blade in my heart, deep Always on my mind so I can't

I can't let her go She's still here fighting Better know there's life in her yet Time will take us all, and turn us into stones Hung over fragile bones She still remembers the time that was uncomplicated But sure as the sun rise, she's seen things that

When will there be a harvest for the world All babies together, everyone a seed Half of us are satisfied, half of us in need Love's bountiful in us, tarnished by our greed A nation planted, so concerned with gain As the seasons come and go, greater grows

One more time Here we go again I've been there before That there's no, no way to win She'll break my heart again I'll play the part again He's back in town again I'll take him back again The phone will ring again
