Mama (Open Your Eyes)

her suffering

comes from deep within

she never found it in her soul

and then the devil broke in

and made himself at home

our father's eyes

they've been paralyzed

found his love in a puddle of pills

when he came home

he better find her some help

before she dies alone

pretty darling

won't you figure out what's wrong

just show us a sign

cause mama it ain't your

no it ain't your time

to sit and wonder why

but I won't back down

won't turn around

until I know you're alive

his diamond eyes

made her his valentine

made a home in her blood

and left her on the floor

she tried harder this time

than she ever had before

the light stood still

the poison rots her will

she looked out the window

and said she saw the Lord

but even God couldn't help her

in this state of war

pretty darling

won't you figure out what's wrong

just show us a sign

cause mama it ain't your

no it ain't your time

to sit and wonder why

but I won't back down

won't turn around

until I know you're alive

pretty darling

won't you figure what's wrong

just show us a sign

cause mama it ain't your

no it ain't your time

to sit and wonder why

but I won't back down

won't turn around

until I know you're alive

dear mama show us a sign

please mama open your eyes

so ma we know you're alive

please mama open your eyes
