Lyrics

Well did you know that the moment I first held you in my arms And I held you close and felt your beating heart Like a hummingbird's wings? Well did you know, son, there's a prayer that I offer to the moon Watching sleep slowly wrap you in its womb Like a hummingbird's wings? Heaven keep him safe May he always find his way He didn't make it, he didn't make it home, it's like she always feared Will we whitewash our fences with her tears Like we always do? Will we find it? Will we find another way to empathize? Will we open up and see it eye to eye? Or will we all run away? And another one is gone Another mother's son gone away Policeman let his pistol free And the poet ran to write a eulogy Poor mama only cries as drive-bys sideways Rifleman calling liberty And the preacher trusts the Trinity Only mama, she holds all that silence You can't find it, you can't find it anywhere that laughter lived It ain't as sacred as the prayer on your lips Say no more, say no more And another one is gone Another mother's son gone away Policeman let his pistol free And the poet ran to write a eulogy Poor mama only cries as drive-bys sideways Rifleman calling liberty And the preacher trusts the Trinity But only mama, she holds all that silence Silence, silence, silence No more silence, no more silence No more silence, no more silence No more father, no more mother No more daughter, no more son No more brother, no more sister No more daughter, no more son No more, no more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more No more, no more, no more, no more
