Hey there,
little girl,
yes you little girl,
stop crying,
stop lying,
I know you’re trying little girl.
You’re smarter that you think, t
hrow the sharp silver down the sink,
open your eyes, no more good-byes
you can fly, little girl.
You have a purpose
don’t be nervous,
you can work this, little girl.
Don’t let that boy corrupt your head,
with those derogative things he said,
he’s crazy,
don’t be lazy to tell him “NO!”,
little girl.
Don’t let those girls bully you,
crush them like dirt under your shoe,
you can do this,
I can prove it,
listen to me,
little girl.
And if your parents are quarreling,
close your eyes and start to sing.
In a minute it’ll be over
and they’ll be sober, little girl.
And if you’re parents don’t treat you right
and every time you’re in a fight,
count to three, close your eyes and let the music be your guide.
When you can’t sleep at nights and
deep inside you want to cry,
look to me,
I’ll be your friend and put your tiny head to bed.
Who am I?
I am hope, here to free your body, mind and soul.
Let me be your best friend.
Hey, guess what?
You’re beautiful little girl.

Dear Mama,
I miss you.
When will you come home?
You've gone far away,
Too far for me to find you,
Too far for me to follow.

You used to be there when I got home.
Sitting in your chair,
Asking who came through the door.
You were always there.

But now you've gone,
Far, far away.
Too far for me to find you,
Too far for me to follow.

I miss your great big laugh.
Even from across the room,
Too big to ever miss.
You were always happy.

But now you've gone,
Far, far away.
Too far for me to find you,
Too far for me to follow.

I miss helping you.
I used to know when you were hungry,
Sad, upset or thirsty.
I was there to support you.

But now you've left me.
Far, far behind you.
Too far for me to find you,
Too far for me to follow.

Dear Mama,

Why won't you answer me?

Don't you hear my cries?

Won't you wake up for your child?

Won't you wipe away her tears?
