She wasn't expecting anyone to hurt her Least of all her daughter She had always been a good mother But her feet slipped in the mud She took a walk with her daughter And her feet slipped in the mud She looked up at her betrayer Running quickly through the trees Please don't leave me here in the dirt Please help me up Reach to me your hand Please help me up She wasn't expecting anyone to hurt her
Then her feet slipped in the mud Please don't leave me here in the dirt Reach to me your hand Help me clean these dirty wings I am so terribly hurt This makes me want to believe in heaven And angels For mothers And hunchbacks And wolves Please let me believe that she's happy And safe And warm And smiling Eating apples and the last piece of cake
