Story Behind The Song
I was asked to write a song for a scene in a play. The woman was being abused by her husband. She reaches up from the floor after a beating and grabs a photo of her mother. This song is my interpretation of what she was feeling for the scene.
Song Description
I was asked to write a song for a scene in a play. The woman was being abused by her husband. She reaches up from the floor after a beating and grabs a photo of her mother. This song is my interpretation of what she was feeling for the scene. It is her prayer to her mother who taught her to be a strong God fearing woman and know what what her worth is...she just has not been able pull from that strength inside her...

Lyrics
Inside Me
@4secs
V1
Don't know what happened to the woman I once was
Seems she got lost in something she thought was love
Misled by, what turned out to be the one thing
The one thing that's taken control over me
Bsec
A memory of you so clear, I can't believe that you're not here
Know you wanted more from me, could this life be my destiny
No, talk to me, I need help, I need to see
So I'm down here on bended knees
Hook
Oh Momma I know, you wanted more
Than this life I'm living now
I know I fell short and it would break your heart
To see what's become of me
Wish you could hear me I need you desperately
I remember what you said, you and God will always be
Right here deep inside of me
V2
It's been so long since, you went to meet the Lord
Confusion and emptiness, has torn my heart apart
Missin' those.. times when, You'd hold me all night long
And Joy came in the morning, just like you said
But now you're gone
Bsec
Hook
Oh Momma I know, you wanted more
Than this life I'm living now
I know I fell short and it would break your heart
To see what's become of me
Wish you could hear me I need you desperately
I remember what you said, you and God will always be
Right here deep inside.....
Bridge
Know I made some bad decisions
Lost sight of the vision
All the plans we made back then
Are only reminiscent
At times I feel like God's not here and I'm all alone
But I know you're in my heart and your love has made me strong
Hook
Oh Momma I know, you wanted more
Than this life I'm living now
I know I fell short and it would break your heart
To see what's become of me
Wish you could hear me I need you desperately
I remember what you said, you and God will always be
Right here deep inside.....
