Rock
Me Through the Darkness Momma
Momma I hear voices,
and the thunder
overhead
it scares me so.
They tell me you're
in Heaven
and they say that
if I'm good
That's where I'll
go.
They put away your
pictures
Saying they're just
milk and honey
to a displaced child
like me
But I hear black
velvet voices
In the lilac scented
darkness
And it seems my
mind is moving
wild and free.
Rock me through
the darkness momma
Let this tired body
sail in dreams.
Forget the pain
around me
for I know somewhere
out there an angel sings.
Knowing that forevers
never coming,
But it's never far
behind.
And searching through
the shadows
Hoping someday it
will be your face I find.
Momma I saw daddy
and the tears that
touched his eyes have turned them red,
oh momma wont you
talk to God
and ask him to take
someone else instead?
At least please
won't you ask him
If you can come
and hold me one more time.
And take me to your
home mom
Cause everyone here
says it's silver lined.
Rock me through
the darkness momma
Let this tired body
sail in dreams.
Escape the pain
around me for I know
somewhere out there
an angel sings.
Noticing forevers
never coming
but it's never far
behind,
And searching through
the darkness
Hoping someday it
will be your face I find.
Rock me through
the darkness momma,
Let this tired body
sail in dreams.
