Mockingbirds
Yeah,
I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now,
But hey, what daddy always tell you?
Straighten up little soldier,
Stiffen up that upper lip,What you crying about?You got me,
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad,
Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had,
I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh,
I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry,Cuz you're scared, I ain't there?
Daddy's with you in your prayers,No more crying, wipe them tears,Daddy's here, no more nightmares,
We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it,Laney uncles crazy, aint he?
Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it,
We're all we got in this world,When it spins, when it swirls,When it whirls, when it twirls,
Two little beautiful girls,Lookin' puzzled, in a daze,
I know it's confusing you,
Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news,
I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems,
The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me,
All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see,
Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did,
We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me,
But things have gotten so bad between us,
I don't see us ever being together ever again,Like we used to be when we was teenagers,But then of course everything always happens for a reason,
I guess it was never meant to be,
But it's just something we have no control,over and that's what destiny is,
But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep,
Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream,
Now hush little baby, don't you cry,Everything's gonna be alright,Stiffen that upperlip up little lady, i told ya,
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night,
I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why,
We feel how we feel inside,
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby,
But i promise momma's gon' be alright,
It's funny
