Mama, cold hearted child, tell me how you feel Just a blade in the grass, spoke unto the wheel Mama, cold hearted child, tell me where it all falls The luster of your bones, those arms that held you strong I been worryin' that my time is a little unclear I been worryin' that I'm losing the one's I hold dear I been worryin' that we all live our lives in the confines of fear Mama, cold hearted child, tell me how you feel Just a grain in the morning air, dark shadow on the hill Mama, cold hearted child, tell me where it all goes Is that what you feel will make a fool of our soul? I been worryin' that my time is a little unclear I been worryin' that I'm losing the one's I hold dear I been worryin' that we all live our lives in the confines of fear And I will become what I deserve I been worryin', I been worryin' I will become what I deserve I been worryin' that my time is a little unclear I been worryin' that I'm losing the one's I hold dear I been worryin' that we all live our lives in the confines of fear
