Mama (Open Your Eyes)

Blackwood Sarah

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
