Mother's Day Testimony

(Verse 1)

Red paint coughed in to my hand like a movie scene, the air was gettin' thin

Waiting on the siren, fightin' to hang on so my momma wouldn't have to watch her baby fade away,

A painless flaw, internal flow, I didn't know and it took all I had to fight,

In a peaceful dark void I waited

Then I let go stepped into the light

I left it in God’s hands, whispered a final prayer

And left this world waiting in the air.

(Chorus)

Oh, I was walking on a cloud, a hallway made of white

Someone held my hand, steering me to the light

So peaceful and bright

Far and beyond we finally arrived the Pearly Gates, standing tall and grand

And an Angel reaching out, with something in his hand.

I tried so hard to see his face then I realized and I knew my place

(Verse 2)

He held out white wings, soft as driven snow

Saying "It is time, child, it is time to go."

I looked at those wings, I felt the peace within

Understood the quiet, where the new life begins

I said, "I know my fate, and I accept the hand of God, I know these are your plans

But please please not before my mom, I cannot leave her this way her heart empty and shattered ."

(Chorus)

Oh, I was walking on a cloud, a hallway made of white

Someone held my hand, steering me to the light

So peaceful and bright

Far and beyond we finally arrived the Pearly Gates, standing tall and grand

And an Angel reaching out, with something in his hand.

I tried so hard to see his face then I realized and I knew my place

(Bridge)

Forty days of darkness, forty days in sleep

While the world kept turning, and the silence was too deep

But a promise was a promise, and a soul has to fight

I was coming back to her, coming back to light.

(Verse 3)

The heavy curtains lifted, I heard a distant sound

The machines were echoing, I was back on solid ground

I opened up my eyes, felt the sun begin to rise

I saw the teary, smiling face of my mama's eyes

Forty days in the desert, a miracle on display

Woke up in her sight... on Mother's Day.

(Outro)

Yeah, I handed back the wings...

Not before my mama...

Forty days...

Mother's Day...

(Fade out)
