Her head held low
Bags under her eyes
I asked
Why so glum
She told me she didn't get much sleep if any at all last night
Okay
Where did I see that look before
Something about that face
Something about the way that she turned away from me when I asked her about it
With her mind working overtime and her eyes are clouded
Couldn't place it at first
But the memory flooded back to me
Put an end to my search
And it did come back in a wave and a burst
And I thought to myself then and there that I must have passed on this curse
How can it be that you see what I’ve seen
When I say it's a dream I don't mean to intervene
But I know about the shadows that move in between
To the daughter who escaped my blood but never my heart sweetie
Welcome to the dark
We have the hand of another world
Dear daughter
You should know
We have the hand of another world
Confused as she was
Some things can't be defined
I think I think it prays on what you love
But exists on the dark corners of our minds
Maybe it's just all in my imagination
Maybe it's the way it makes its way into our conscious
Maybe there's a piece of us that cannot consciously face it
Maybe there’s a connection but we cannot place it
My momma told me to pray to jesus
That was her advice for when she sees it
And I passed it along to you
And I hope that you use it
If god forbid you should ever happen to need it
I hope that you will leave it
Something has made its way through
Come to think of it actually
It stopped communicating with me around the time it started with you
We have the hand of another world
Dear daughter
You should know
We have the hand of another world
Dear daughter
You should know
