Elephant Tears

Elephant Tears By Mike McCracken A mother trades her children For a drug or two They’re no longer smiling Cause mommy, where are you The drugs have taken over Your life is changed somehow While your babies cry elephant tears Wondering where is mommy now (chorus) Mommy, where are you? Please come back today Mommy, we’ll help you Let’s pray Mommy, where are you? What message will you send? To children who love you And will follow you to the end Drugs have claimed your family now Love will pull us through Someday, I pray to get to know A mother, I never knew. Another mom takes drugs now And leaves her happy home Mommy, I’m just like you now With children of my own I wrote this customized song for a girl that doesn’t know her own mother, because her mother left her and her sister for drugs. She told me how she used to cry for her mom and wondered where her mom was all the time. She found her and wanted to send this to her. She gave it to her mom in a hospital bed.
