Motherless Child
I heard my grandmomma say, "The Devil is out there I forbid you to go and if you do don't you come back"
And the sorrowful sobs broke my motherless heart.
But my determined momma had set her course she was leaving.
Leaving this world to find another. Another world without me just a little child who still wore a smile on her face.
Pure ignorance I can say.
Ignorance of the pain to come. The lonely days I would spend waiting on that concrete porch looking up at the cloudless sky.
So empty, my life had died
ooh and I cried
I cried, nobody loves me and nobody cares, the pain, and the beatings from grandmomma, was all I had left.
Come back momma
Come back to comfort me from the Devil herself and say it's not so that you left me in her world so cold.
