Mama once told me,
Child were only grains of sand
and this world we live in is but
a shining tipping glass.

She told me never to be scared
when things aren't always what
them seem, 'cause time is a such
mysterious  thing.

Even at night I'd sit on my bed
praying that things would turn
out just okay, and daddy wouldn't
have to be gone.

But mama always told me,
child were only grains of sand
and this world we live in is but
a shining tipping glass.

After all mama would never lie,
she said she'd hold me safe till
the day she died, and in fact that
is what she did.

I just wish I could see mama one last time.
