Lyrics Toni Childs

Toni Childs

Death

Oh mother, can you hear me?

Can you hear me now?

Did you die alone and afraid?

That no one knew the pain

That still remained

Inside your breast this night

Inside this holy place

A place into the void

Can you hear, hear me now as I call?

I'm calling you here, I can't explain

Explosions and the wound in my heart today

I'm killing myself with drink

I'm killing myself to think

I didn't tell you, I cared

Can you hear?

I needed to say

To let you know

I felt your pain

I'm calling your name to let you know

That I'm sorry for the shame, disguised as blame

And the hurt and pain and the love I couldn't say

That I want to say now

Oh, peace

Let there be peace

Let there be peace

Let there be peace

Let there be peace

It's beautiful here

There is safety in my ears

It's wonderful to be here with you

I breathin' in light, I breathin' in her

I breathin' in the darkness of what it is to live

It's beautiful here

I breathin' in life, I breathin' in blood

I breathin' in lonely of life and holy joy

It's beautiful here, there is safety in my ears

It's wonderful to be here with you

I'm feelin' safe inside you

And I'm feelin' like life would inside you

The blood and the river, said

"We are one with you here the same"

Mother, can you tell me please?

Am I'm safe?

I decide I decide to be whole

And I decide all the world

And I decide to be born

But when I think of this world

What will I do in this world?

Well, I've been up this world
