MOTHERLESS CHILD

YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU LOVED ME

I HEARD YOUR JOY THROUGH THE PHONE

YOU TOLD ME YOU'D GET BETTER

YOU SAID I'D NEVER BE ALONE

NOW ITS THREE YEARS LATER

I GOT TEARS FILLING UP MY EYES

I TRY TO SMILE FOR YOUR GRANDAUGHTER

BUT MY SOUL IS FILLED WITH CRYS

LIFE IS SO HARD BUT IM TRYING

TO MAKE IT AND BE STRONG LIKE YOU

MOMMY I GOT SO MUCH PAIN

CUZ DADDY DIED 3 MONTHS AFTER YOU

THEY TOLD HIM HE HAD CANCER

HE HELD MY AND MY NEWBORN CLOSE

BUT THEN HIS LIFE JUST WITHERED AWAY

AT A TIME THAT I NEEDED HIM MOST

THE NEXT YR I MARRIED DERIECK

IM NOT SURE IT WAS THE RIGHT WAY TO GO

HE KICKED ME WHILE I WAS DOWN

STILL I GOT UP AND NEVER LET IT SHOW

IM WEAK NOW MOM I NEED YOU

I DONT KNOW HOW TO PARENT SOME DAYS

I GOT THROWN INTO THE WORLD

STILL HOLDING MY CHILDISH WAYS

PLEASE DONT HURT WHEN YOU SEE ME CRY

I MISS YOU BUT I KNOW YOUR OKAY

AND I KNOW AS LONG AS YOUR OVER ME

ONE DAY I'LL FIND MY WAY
