Dear Momma
Mom I see you crying
From the vacant in your eyes
It's clear you have no love to give
Oh can you recognize
Mom I'll keep you happy
Oh mom I'll make you proud
Mom I'll help you to forget
All the sorrows in your head
So don't you worry 'bout me
I'm drowning but I'm fine
My face will keep on beaming
Upon the sorrows in your mind
Momma please don't feel bad
Momma please don't you cry
I know you've done your best, it's tough
With sorrows in your mind
If only you could see me
Lie awake in bed
But you don't have the strength to know
Each sorrow in my head
Oh Mom you sink down further
My screams I keep confined
Am I not more important
Than the sorrows in your mind
Just know when I grow up someday
And parent to my young
I will not be distracted
By the sorrows in my head
Oh I will push, be present
When she cries out to me
To her I will come running
Hold her sorrows in my mind
So don't you worry 'bout me
I'm drowning but I'm fine
My face will keep on beaming
Upon the sorrows in your mind
Momma please don't feel bad
Momma please don't you cry
I know you've done your best, it's tough
With sorrows in your mind
Mom I see you crying
From the vacant in your eyes
It's clear you have no love to give
Oh can you recognize
From the vacant in your eyes
It's clear you have no love to give
Oh can you recognize
Mom I'll keep you happy
Oh mom I'll make you proud
Mom I'll help you to forget
All the sorrows in your head
So don't you worry 'bout me
I'm drowning but I'm fine
My face will keep on beaming
Upon the sorrows in your mind
Momma please don't feel bad
Momma please don't you cry
I know you've done your best, it's tough
With sorrows in your mind
If only you could see me
Lie awake in bed
But you don't have the strength to know
Each sorrow in my head
Oh Mom you sink down further
My screams I keep confined
Am I not more important
Than the sorrows in your mind
Just know when I grow up someday
And parent to my young
I will not be distracted
By the sorrows in my head
Oh I will push, be present
When she cries out to me
To her I will come running
Hold her sorrows in my mind
So don't you worry 'bout me
I'm drowning but I'm fine
My face will keep on beaming
Upon the sorrows in your mind
Momma please don't feel bad
Momma please don't you cry
I know you've done your best, it's tough
With sorrows in your mind
Mom I see you crying
From the vacant in your eyes
It's clear you have no love to give
Oh can you recognize
