Lyrical Reflections on Life: Glimpse of a Mother

[parim]

She's back on drugs again
Even though she knows it ain't right.
She can't even call up her friends
And say "help" to save my life.
She's so ashamed of herself
That she's gone full-circle:
Nobody understands what its like to be this girl.
(So she) She disappeared
(And she) She wasn't clear
(And she) She didn't say were she was going
...
She's got her eyes open wide.
She's got the dirt and spit of the world.
Her mouth on the metal
The lips of a scared little girl.
And it spins around 1...2...3
And we all lay down 4...5...6
Some do it fast
Some do it better in smaller amounts
...
Mama please don’t go.
Won't you stay here for one more day?
I’ve been your boy for so long now;
There’s so much I still have to say

Sky rips open, and I hold my heart in my hand
Like a soldier on his very last day
Cried myself to sleep that night, and I listened
As I heard the angels sing…

Sha la la la sha la la la, Im going home.
Sha la la la sha la la la, Im going home.
