A Child's Cry

I hear the sky roar!
Its so loud and feircful!
I get scared and pull the covers over my head
I shiver with fear
I cry for my mother

Mama
Mama
Mama

But she never comes

Laying there in a little ball
so scared and alone

I cry for my mother 

Mama 
Mama 
Mama

But she still doesn't come

Ten years later 
I hear thunder
I see lighting
I'm a little kid again

I pull the covers over my head

I cry for my mother 
but she never comes
