Mommy Wake Up

 
 
Mommy I'm glad I found you; You're not lost anymore  
 
No, I'm not okay; I wondered why you went  away  
 
Daddy was kind, said not to worry my little mind  
 
That your sudden departing was only for a day  
 
 
I waited and waited  
 
                 ... but you never came back  
 
I trusted daddy  
 
                ... until he became an angry man  
 
So at first I thought he missed you terribly  
 
That he was confused and he didn't understand  
 
 
There's something off here and I'm scared  
 
Why did he become this frightening way?  
 
I try to be a good girl, but I feel alone in the world  
 
I try to not make him mad, and to behave every day  
 
 
He's always angry, Mommy, why must he hate me?  
 
He used to play with me outside when the sun was bright  
 
Now he doesn't think, he just gambles and drinks  
 
And brings strange ladies in his bed at night  
 
 
Mommy I thought you loved me, so why'd you leave?  
 
Daddy disrespects you, in the bed where you used to sleep  
 
He brings these dirty strangers, I feel small and in danger  
 
I pray to God to protect me from these crazy creeps  
 
               ...  But I don't think he hears me  
 
 
Mommy I remember how we'd been, tried hard to remind him  
 
How he loved you, and you wouldn't like how he is now  
 
But his face grew splotchy red, he cursed your name and mine  
 
Said I looked too much  like you  
 
               ... and then he beat me down  
 
 
I'm scared and alone, Mommy, wake up, please come home  
 
I needed you in my life, so why did you have to go?  
 
Daddy hits hard and angrily, the kids at school pick on me  
 
You're not here to care for me, but you ought to be, you know  
 
 
No,  Mommy, you can't be dead, this still cold is in my head

Wake up and follow me back home, take a nice hot bath  
 
Clean the gray dust off your face; to be dirty is a disgrace  
 
        ....At least that's what you said before you left me to Daddy's wrath  
 
 
It's so dark in here, Mommy, I think something's gonna get me  
 
Please pick me up and comfort me, I miss your tight hugs  
 
MOMMA WAKE UP! I need you! Please get up!  
 
Don't you care that I'm crying? Don't you see my love?  
 
 
Oh look now, Daddy has found me! He'll help you from the ground  
 
Mommy please tell him you're alive and well, I'm sure he'll be glad  
 
Bring the family together again like it used to be before all this  
 
So I won't be living in horrible fear of Daddy getting so mad  
 
 
Oh no Mommy what's Daddy doing? What's happening? I can't breathe!  
 
               ... I feel his hands wrapping tight around my little neck  
 
His heavily alcohol-tainted breath smells, I hope he goes to hell  
 
I hear him hissing "Don't make a sound. Soon you'll join your mother...  
 
           ... On this cold hard ground
