"Elephant Tears"
A Message to a Mom Who Left Her Two Girls for a Life of Drugs
Listen to the recorded song.
A mother trades her children
For a drug or two
They’re no longer smiling
Cause mommy, where are you
The drugs have taken over
Your life is changed somehow
While your babies cry elephant tears
Wondering where is mommy now
(chorus)
Mommy, where are you?
Please come back today
Mommy, we’ll help you
Let’s pray
Mommy, where are you?
What message will you send?
To children who love you
And will follow you to the end
Drugs have claimed your family now
Love will pull us through
Someday, I pray to get to know
A mother, I never knew.
Another mom takes drugs now
And leaves her happy home
Mommy, I’m just like you now
With children of my own
I wrote this customized song for a girl that doesn’t know her own mother, because her mother left her and her sister for drugs. She told me how she used to cry for her mom and wondered where her mom was all the time. She found her and wanted to send this to her. She gave it to her mom in a hospital bed.
