lyrics

years ago
when Momma put me on her shopping list
was she wondering if I'd be a risk
would I be something she could not resist
was she wondering if I'd be a risk

was Momma ready for my violent cries
and unexpected things she'd find in my eyes
like a movie where the hero dies
the unexpected things she'd find in my eyes

and it makes me tremble
it makes me quiver
it stops my heart
like a Canaan shiver
Momma gave me life
but, hey, I forgive her
how else could I have come to know
this Canaan shiver

years ago
when Momma put me in her master plan
did she envision me as a modern man
when she held my little baby hand
did she imagine me as a modern man

Momma told me stories of the past
so that I might learn about the things that last
now that the present's fading fast
I'm looking down the road at the things that last
