[Martin: a heavy riff expressing an even heavier message: child abuse.]      [vers:]   Mama would you listen to your son    would you listen to what I say    can't you see that helpless one    can't you see me how I pray    I'm afraid to tell you what I bear    say no word to no one    by god you swear    Mama do you know what I really know    do you know what I conceal    it is terrible and horrible    and no one can feel what I feel    I deny myself    and I deny my pain    my childhood turns    from sunshine into rain    [ref:]    Mama are you blind    if only the father in heaven is with me    he gives me the answer to be    I wish he could not find my hide-out    if you're not at home    those bad times    if we are alone
