I can do bad All by myself/motherless child

No lullabies, no cradle song,

Just the silence where love don’t belong.

Empty arms and colder sheets,

I learned to walk without two feet.

She left before I knew her face,

Just a whisper lost in space.

And dance with ghosts I never made.

Feral, fading, undefiled.

Never taught to dream too loud—

So I sing my pain beneath the cloud.

No arms to run to, no sweet perfume,

No voice to call me from the gloom.

But I got a song, I got a soul—

Even cracked glass can still hold gold.

Yeah, I can
