Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I talk to the sun and moon

Waitin' for the rendezvous

Tried not to punish you

Yeah I tried to, I tried to

I try to justify

The reasons you hurt inside

It's me and the world and I

Yeah, I try to say, we've all gotta stay, oh

[PreChorus]

Ooh

It's gettin' warmer outside, just a desert of water and sacrifice

You, won't have to die, true

And ooh

You given birth to a light, just a testament

Why do I have to fight? Hmm

Just a part of life, hmm

[Chorus]

Mama don't you cry anymore

I know you just can't fight and you're sore

I'm a mortal and you just a light at your core, oh, oh

Why we treat this life like we daily?

Struck oil from the soil just to drive my Mercedes

Cathartic and all, that we all should be waitin' on you

On you

[Verse 2]

Hey (Ooh, ooh)

I've given you life (Ooh, ooh)

You wither my pride (Ooh, ooh)

I sit at your side, you've taken mine

You (Ooh, ooh)

Look in my eyes (Ooh, ooh)

The rivers I've cried (Ooh, ooh)

The path that I've paved, you pass me by

[PreChorus]

Ooh

It's gettin' warmer outside, just a desert of water and sacrifice

You, won't have to die, true (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

And ooh (You-you-you-you-you-you)

You given birth to a light, just a testament (You-you-you-you-you-you)

Why do I have to fight?

Just a part of life, hmm

[Chorus]

Mama don't you cry anymore

I know you just can't fight and you're sore

I'm a mortal and you just a light at your core, oh, oh (You're a light inside your core)

Why we treat this life like we daily?

Struck oil from the soil just to drive my Mercedes

Cathartic and all, that we all should be waitin' on you

On you

[Outro]

You-you-you-you-you-you

You-you-you-you-you-you

You-you-you-you-you-you

You-you-you-you-you-you
