Elephant
Tears

By Mike
M.

A mother
trades her children

For a drug
or two

They’re
no longer smiling

Cause mommy,
where are you

The drugs
have taken over

Your life is
changed somehow

While your
babies cry elephant tears

Wondering
where is mommy now

          (chorus)

Mommy, where
are you

Please come
back today

Mommy,
we’ll help you

Let’s
pray

Mommy, where
are you

What message
will you send

To children
who love you

And will
follow you to the end

Drugs have
claimed your family now

Love will
pull us through

Someday, I
pray to get to know

A mother, I
never knew.

Another mom
takes drugs now

And leaves
her happy home

Mommy,
I’m just like you now

With
children of my own
