Why you try that mama?
I thought everything was kind of okay
Why'd you try that mama?
I thought everything was gonna be okay.

Why'd you look little son
Little brother in the eye
Just to say you wanted to drown
In the pool we use to play
Why'd you try to leave us mama?
Don't you have a reason to stay.

You gotta be strong now mama
You gotta come outta this fighting
For yourself
For me
For us
For the token in your belt
Thats frosted flakes
Full of candy colored ripe vines
Reminding you and all of us
Of the big open heart you have
You gotta do whatcha gotta do mama
To keep breathing, humming
Singing the tune you've always sang
Rabbits nest
Sweet rabbits nest

We all need you to dance
And fight
To stay.
