Mama, Oh Mama

Bleeding through my sinus Experts say I have THE VIRUS ............................................. ............................................. I try to smile but I can’t My lips are numb (and) My tongue is frozen My eyes refuse to open My mouth is ajar but I cannot speak As this breath of mine gets weak My dear life has become a mess Sickness has robbed my happiness The pills that I take are all in vain Needles and pipes fail to erase my pain I overheard the doctor conversing with a nurse There is no vaccine or cure for my curse I thank my folks for holding my hand But mama, you better understand Appreciate what my song is about There is no denying, there is only one way out Give unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar Dust to dust, ashes to ashes The writing is on the wall The mighty tree must fall Mama I will never walk again Mama we will never talk again Mama you will never see me again It is time for me to face my maker All my good things you must remember The not so good things you must forgive Please forgive me, for I have to leave I lived right so I’m not afraid to leave Like a leaf detached from its tree I fall Time has come to answer my call
