Songs and Compositions of Lawrence Ward
Well, I’d swear that house is haunted
’Cause I’m always seein’ ghosts:
Daddy workin’ in the garden,
Mama cookin’ us French toast.
Me and my two little brothers
Used to wrestle on that floor.
And Mama marked our growin’ up
On that kitchen cupboard door.
There are things a boy just never could have known:
Whether upon a king’s command
Or at a mercenary’s hand
They have been taken far too soon,
Silenced within a mother’s womb.
Oh, our hearts are broken
For the cries unspoken.
Verse 1:
The day I first met you the world came alive
You captured my heart, and my soul you revived.
Your beauty’s unequaled both outside and in
So come take my hand, let our new life begin.
