The Day the Levee Broke: Part 3

The Dome is dark and all are scared so
Mama's gettin  weak cuz her sugar is low
Whispers don't let child see me go
But child knows when mama goes
A child always knows when Mama goes

And now we're grieving 

Sorrow that washes despair
Tears sheddin natural wash mama here
All the reasons to US are unknown
Father, take her to your heavenly home
Father take her to you heavenly home. 

And now we're reeling
