Mother, you have a lot to learn,
it's time to discern!
Saw you holding your hands up,
praying for more things to fill your cup.

No time to do what you want to do
life makes you feel real down, real blue.
Look beyond the things a mighty God brings.
Angels in heaven, they know what to sing.
Praise your Father and listen to Him on what to do,
just might avoid a devil looking to sue.
