Hang on to Me

Mother to our people
She still got some things to prove
Pressed to find a reason
You know, I could name a few
But sometimes I want a baby
And oh, what can I do
Morning brings another empty womb
Hang on to me
You’re the only thing I have
To wash my body clean
Oh and guide me on my path
You know they held love like a trophy
Like they’ve never been on their knees
But when it gets too dark to see
You always calm me down
I nearly fell to pieces
Trying to wear my daddy’s shoes
I’m working on a sequel
You know good things come in twos
She said your love makes me crazy
And someday I’ll have to choose
Lover, that same trouble is just old news
Hang on to me
I’m the only chance you’ve got
Set your body free
And keep you from falling apart
And when they held love like a trophy
Like they’ve never been on their knees
It’s a lonely life to lead
And I could’ve spared you that
