Chapter 2: The Ghost livin in Mama's Soul



There is a ghost livin in mama's soul;


She don't like to talk about him much;


They call him my brother and he used


to live here before I came;


Now, he lives in mama's soul.




There is a ghost livin in mama's soul;


When I look at his pictures I see myself;


Does mama see him when she looks


at me? Can he see me through her eyes


livin in mama's soul.




There is a ghost livin in mama's soul;


His toys are in the big crate in the cellar;


I want to play with the train and ride the


rocking pony but I can't;


I wonder if he plays with toys


livin in mama's soul.




There is a ghost livin in mama's soul;


Daddy says I would not be here if he did not get sick;


He drinks a lot; he hurts mama; he hurts me;


I bet he used to hurt the ghost


livin in mama's soul.




There is a ghost livin in mama's soul;


She said God took him to save him from a worser fate;


She said he would had done something bad to daddy


to protect her; Instead he is


livin in mama's soul.
