Lyrics

THE RAGE WITHIN ME Words & Music: Lori Yates

Oh Mama Mama
please come and hold me tight
I'm scared of the darkness
and the way I feel tonight
There's a baby in my belly
growing stronger every day
and a fear that keeps on spreading
and won't go away

Oh Mama Mama
It was wise to leave
He was a hothead and a hustler
and not good enough for me
Some secrets come from heaven
and those are hard to keep
The presence of mind gets left behind
of the things we cannot speak

The rage within me is there to guide me
The rage within me points me true north
The rage within me is there to guide me
The rage within me sets my course

Oh Mama Mama, tell me to be strong
You'll send money for me
and I will be back where I belong
Tell me just to come on home
You've got a bed all made up
Tell me this will pass in time
I'm just down on my luck
