[Martin: a heavy riff expressing an even heavier message: child abuse.]

[vers:]
|
Mama would you listen to your son
|
would you listen to what I say
|
can't you see that helpless one
|
can't you see me how I pray
|
I'm afraid to tell you what I bear
|
say no word to no one
|
by god you swear
|
Mama do you know what I really know
|
do you know what I conceal
|
it is terrible and horrible
|
and no one can feel what I feel
|
I deny myself
|
and I deny my pain
|
my childhood turns
|
from sunshine into rain
|
[ref:]</i>
|
Mama are you blind
|
if only the father in heaven is with me
|
he gives me the answer to be
|
I wish he could not find my hide-out
|
if you're not at home
|
those bad times
|
if we are alone
|
