they say that when a baby's born
she knows her mother's valid heart
but i'm not sure of that validity
as i live this hell of indecency
the things that i once thought as lies
have deemed true in my big brown eyes
and now i sit in dispair
trying not to show i care
i'm not even sure she knows
the pain and woes that flow along
and each night as they go to sleep
i stay awake and cry and weep
i hope her Adam will see her through
cause this young Eve is plenty through
i hope before the sky deems dark
she'll see the true line of my beauty mark
all i wanted is to feel some care
but i'm leaving home without a care
with cold shoulders at my back
i look for love in a world intact
my emotions are spread all on this page
as was my tears as i wrote in rage
i pray my kids will never see
the things that brought me to my knees
i look at this as a lesson to me
that i,will live a better deed
i know that God's not through with me
cause he's the one that carried me
and when i lift my eyes up high
i know that he'll be full of light
that i didn't give up on me
when everyone else misunderstood me
