Joy Water
Momma, don't you feel the water?
The water that drips all day?
Momma, it pours harder,
It will not go away,
I haven't read the Bible,
Don't recall the date,
But it's when I was stronger,
More innocent and younger,
A couple months ago actually,
Those months has passed,
And I might grow weaker than currently,
Momma, the water!
It drips and drips all day,
It's pouring even harder,
It will not dry away,
Momma don't get mad,
But I haven't talked to my Father lately,
The one who makes me glad,
Plus I know I'm still His baby,
But joy has seeped to the ground,
Falls from me everyday,
Momma, it pours harder,
It will not dry away,
Momma,
Momma, I don't speak anymore,
My words have ran away,
I haven't spoken to you in days,
Just a quick "Goodmorning"
And a "Bye, have a nice day"
Momma, the water!
It drips and drips all day,
I try to stop it from leaking,
But it won't dry and save the day.
