lyrics

My son
Will not forgive me
I left him alone
I left him with a woman of lies and betrayal
Left him with the church that stole my home
I left him with a woman and no home

My son
Grows taller
Learns to read and write
He prays against a house of secrets
Corners that whisper slander
Fill his heart with slander

My son
Always wonders
How I yearned for him
How I cursed the skies and muddied the waters
Before renouncing kin
How I blackened my skin

He’ll tell me I could have fought harder
Bared tooth and claw
Should have gathered the church under our holy father
Pled to the rule of law
Gave up my life under the law
