[Verse]

Thunder beats the door

Another fight

Another war

Another crack in the window pane

Mother's on the floor

Knocked out cold

That's for sure

Daddy's bolted once again

[Chorus]

Ma, wake up Ma

Ma, wake up Ma

Wake up Ma

It's me, wake up Ma

[Verse]

Fifteen foster homes

Three meals a day can't fill the hole

Can't fill the hole left in my heart

Social workers come

Once in five months

To reaffirm

It's not my turn to see my Ma

[Chorus]

Ma, wake up Ma

Ma, wake up Ma

Wake up Ma

It's me, wake up Ma

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Ma, wake up Ma

Ma, wake up Ma

Wake up Ma

It's me, wake up Ma
