Holy Mother hear my prayer
Somehow I know you're still there {chords as verse I}
Send me please some peace of mind
Take away this pain
Bm G {I'm not really sure about}
I can't wait, I can't wait {this part... but it sounds}
I can't wait any longer
Holy Mother, hear my cry
I've cursed your name a thousand times {chords as verse I}
I've felt the anger running through my soul
All I need is a hand to hold
Oh I feel the end is coming
No longer my legs will run {chords as verse II}
You know how to wrap me
In your arms tonight
When my hands can no longer play
My voice is still a fade away {chords as verse I}
Holy Mother, then I'll be
lying in, safe within your arms.
Comments, corrections, (and profuse thanks and encouragement) are
