Chris Jaye - Oh Child (feat. Lunie) Lyrics

Oh child
I hope you know
(I hope that you know)
You'll never have to take on this life alone
Oh child
I'll help you grow
(Please help me grow)
To a burning flame, in this world so cold
I'm trapped in my mind like a prisoner
Always locked in a cage
These thoughts in my mind are racing
I'm always feeling ashamed
Cause every little doubt is feeling like I'm shackled and chained to these walls again
Can you hear me now?
Ain't nobody there to lend a helping hand?
I don't need no handout
But please just understand how
I'm feeling broken now
Someone built me up
Just to tear my walls down
It keeps me questioning my faith
Life gets so hard to navigate
From all this weight that's on my plate
You'd think my mind's about to break
This mirror shows a face
But it's getting hard to recognize
I'm smiling on the outside
But deep inside I'm paralyzed
My heart keeps pounding like a drum You can hear that thing from outer space
So many mistakes along the way
There's just so much I can't escape
So I keep on popping
That's the only option
That I got left
It's my antitoxin
Always medicated
Soul is levitated
Every single day
I'll always replicate it
Listen to my songs
You can feel the pain in it
It ain't healthy, yeah, I'll admit it
But I'm searching for a sign
Dear God please help me with my mind
Please
Oh child
I hope you know
(I hope that you know)
You'll never have to take on this life alone
Oh child
I'll help you grow
(I'll help me grow)
To a burning flame, in this world so cold
Mama my feelings ain't your fault
But tell me how'd you leave me here?
I've been so trapped inside myself
I've been imprisoned by my fear
I blame my God for taking you
But it was you who didn't care
Ain't even try to get no help
Now there's this hole I can't repair
Cause I gotta explain this shit to them
You know I'm talking bout my kids
I would've done what I could do
I would've gave all I could give
But you ain't wanna worry us
And that's what really makes me sick
You took this shit upon yourself and left me here to deal with it
Now tell me what I'm supposed to do?
How I'm supposed to feel?
How the f*ck I'm supposed to live alone?
How am I supposed to heal?
I've been so angry at the world
My girl keeps asking what's the deal?
I'm just trying to figure out my life before my mental get me killed
I seen my granny in the casket
Remembered the sound of when it sealed
I told my bro over the phone
And heard him break down into tears
His mama really dead and gone
And he ain't seen her in two years
They telling me that life goes on
That ain't some shit I wanna hear
Nah
Oh child
I hope you know
You'll never have to
Take on this life alone
Oh child
I'll help you grow
Please help me grow
Into a burning flame
In this world so cold
Sometimes the road is rocky and the nights are long
But I gather all of my courage so that I stay strong
Oh God
Oh child
