What if I were that mother staring from my TV
|
What if that were my brown-eyed baby
|
Hungry as she could be
|
What if that were my family
|
What if that was my world
|
Waiting on water waiting on a vaccine
|
Waiting on someone to bring me a bag of beans
|
Lord have mercy on me
|
Lord have mercy on me
|
Lord have mercy on me
|
Lord have mercy on me
|
|
What of I was that mother and I was waiting on me
|
The big success so well dressed on the other side of the sea
|
Living with my distractions
|
Life's been good to me
|
Maybe she's praying
|
Praying for a miracle
|
Maybe the answer is me
|
|
Lord have mercy on me
|
Lord have mercy on me
|
Lord have mercy on me
|
Lord have mercy on me
|
|
I was born in Georgia where I could do as I pleased
|
And I can get my hands on just about anything I might need
|
Who's that third world woman
|
Maybe she could be
|
Could be mother, could be daughter
|
Could be sister to me
|
|
Lord have mercy on me
|
Lord have mercy on me
|
Lord have mercy on me
|
Lord have mercy on me
|
