I tried to tell you
Now it's too late
I sit waiting
At heaven's gate
He abused me, Mom
You never seemed to care
Now I lay in a black coffin
Full of despair
How many times
Did you hear me cry?
Did you ever think
It'd get so bad I'd die?
I am an angel now
With long white wings
Flying higher each day
No longer feeling his stings
I'll watch over you, Mom
Do what you didn't do for me
You pretended not to hear
Pretended not to see
Now you wait at heaven's gate
Just as I once did
You have now come to realize
The pain that I once hid
