Momas Cave

Moma said come out of there She said you better watch out just beware Of that person who wants to steal your heart Run it through the mill Rip it apart She had been there and done that Had worn many hats Worn many shoes and lots of dresses Got lots of men but the wrong caresses Touched by and never fulfilled Tainted thoughts and unnatural will Broken by the cave she was trapped in Her mind so sore from all the sin She was tired of carrying images of them around So she walked on in the best place in town The house of peace For her release The spirit told her she had to leave All that mess in her inside of her cave At the pulpit or it would put her in an early grave She dropped all her thoughts and tribulations At the steps of purification She turned around and walked away Spirit don't leave cave get outta my way A foolish mind can wither your heart But a sound mind will always listen to the tribal charts They guide and protect all that's been given So we can make the best decisions Moma's alright
