Mama, I kept breathing when my chest said no Porch screen shaking, I still came home If I crack, let the morning pass through Glass can cut, but it can carry blue Red clay on my heel, blue map on the dash Rain on the windshield, both hands on the past Bakersfield wet road, prayer in my teeth Long gray season tried to take my green I talk to God with the door pulled shut No shame in me asking help to get up Paid in sleep, paid in pride, paid in tears Still got color in my chest after all these years Mama said baby, keep your name in your mouth Even when the whole room tries to drown it out I need air, I need grass, I need sun on my face Take me from the gray to a kinder place Please just know It will be alright You’re not alone, babe We’re all in the same fight Yesterday can’t drive Let it sit in the dust The future should be blurry Because it has not come Take me to the right side Right side of life I’m ready for my sunshine I paid that price Take me to the right side Grass green under my feet Color come back, come back to me Glass in my voice, but I still sing Right side, right side Color come back to me Kitchen door open, names on paper cups Church fan folded, club wrist marked up Pacific wind with the bass in my ribs Everybody here got a bruise that lives Laurel Canyon curve, moon over the lane I put my hurt in the trunk with my old shame You look at me, I can tell you feel cracked I say stay close, we can walk through that No big speech, just breath, just feet No clean road, still we move to the beat Past tried loud, but we got loud too Whole floor singing what we barely knew If the morning comes blurred, let it come in slow We will learn by the color that starts to show Please just know It will be alright You’re not alone, love We’re all in the same fight Let the old room close Let the new air come The future should be blurry Because it has not come Take me to the right side Right side of life I’m ready for my sunshine I paid that price Take me to the right side Grass green under my feet Color come back, come back to me Glass in my voice, but I still sing Right side, right side Color come back to me Can you hear it, Mama? I still sing On both knees by the bed I pray low, almost whispering Not for riches, not for fame Just a dawn that feels forgiven I paid in sleep and tender pride Came home empty, still breathing If the glass breaks in the light Let it scatter color for me Mama, I am not done believing Take me to the right side Right side of life I’m ready for my sunshine I paid that price Take me to the right side Grass green under my feet Color come back, come back to me Glass in my voice, but I still sing Take me to the right side Right side of life I’m ready for my sunshine I paid that price Glass in my voice, but I still sing My prayer got dust on its feet Color come back to me Can you hear it, Mama? I still sing I still sing Take me to the right side Color come back slow I keep walking toward morning Glass in the dawn, still I go
