Days of Oklahoma

It’s like Oklahoma
I owe you so much ma 
Just like Oklahoma 
I own your soul ma

To acknowledge 
A survivor
On a strangers
Terrain
Is to move along
Minus the tears
And continue
The painting
In pain
The pictures 
Then remains 
But  a mirror 
Of things 
To become 
In vain

Because I own
Your soul ma
You will make it 
No further 
Than Oklahoma

But because 
I owe you so much ma
I will grant 
You safe passage 
Toward your Oklahoma
