Another Mother’s Son Lyrics by Phil Cook

People Are My Drug

0

[Verse 1]
Did you know?
That the moment I first held you in my arms
I held you close and felt your beating heart
Like a hummingbird's wings?
[Verse 2]
Did you know, son?
There's a prayer that I offer to the moon
Watching sleep slowly wrap you in its womb
Like a hummingbird's wings
[Refrain 1]
Heaven keep him safe
May he always find his way
[Verse 3]
He didn't make it
He didn't make it home, it's like she always feared
Will we whitewash our fences with her tears
Like we always do?
[Verse 4]
Will we find it?
Will we find another way to empathize?
Will we open up and see it eye-to-eye
Or will we all run away?
[Refrain 2]
And another one is gone
Another mother’s son is gone away
[Chorus]
Police man let his pistol free
And the poet ran to write a eulogy
Poor mama, all her cries are drowned by sirens
Rifle man calls it "Liberty"
Preacher trusts the trinity
But only mama, she holds all that silence
[Verse 5]
You can find it
You can find it anywhere their laughter lives
Ain't it sacred as a prayer on your lips
Say no more, say no more
[Refrain 2]
Another one is gone
Another mother’s son is gone away
[Chorus]
Police man let his pistol free
And the poet ran to write a eulogy
Poor mama, all her cries are drowned by sirens
Rifle man calls it "Liberty"
Preacher trusts the trinity
But only mama, she holds all that
[Outro]
Silence
Silence
Silence
Silence
No more silence (Everybody)
No more silence (Everybody)
No more silence (Everybody)
No more silence (Everybody)
No more fathers (Everybody)
No more mothers (Everybody)
No more daughters (Everybody)
No more sons (Everybody)
No more brothers (Everybody)
No more sisters (Everybody)
No more daughters (Everybody)
No more sons (Everybody)
Anymore (No more bodies)
Anymore (No more bodies)
Anymore (No more bodies)
Never anymore (No more bodies)
No more bodies
No more bodies
No more bodies
No more bodies
No more bodies
No more bodies
