Chris DiCroce - Mama's Iron Hand Song Lyrics

She's taking blood and making water
She's turning fear into faith
She says "if time is gonna tell
There freezing down in hell
But I can wait"

Pray for mama's iron hand
She's doing all she can
Oh to carry the weight

She says "the weather is against you"
"some days the dirt will fight you too"
"but when the help up and fails your hands they feel the nails
That reach for you"

So pray for mama's iron hand
She's doing all she can
To fight the devils crew

She says that "daddy was a good man"
He tried for years to put us straight
But the scars they couldn't heal
Your father had to yield to the magistrate

So pray for mama's iron hand
She's doing all she can
Oh to handle the breaks.

"so baby fight the blood inside you
Some days I know it will be hard
But that blood running through your veins
Was filtered through the pain in your daddy's heart

And pray for mama's iron hand
She's doing all she can
To make the healing start
