Mama's Song

Mama What made you come to me Mama What made you think Id be Just like with father Yes I look like him Unlike with father This was a sin For the rest of my life I will be like this When I lay with my wife It will not be in bliss The thoughts and the feelings Are of guilt and shame Was it you who was wrong Or was I to blame I still hear the words It will make you a man I want to go back Before it began Or far in the future To the day I end For with my last breath My poor heart will mend
