It’s been three years, two months and five days.

He comes straight from the prison saying, “Honey, I’ve changed.”

Saying, “She’s my flesh and blood, I am her Old Man, You are still my woman.”

I say, “The hell I am”.

 

He says “Baby, Baby, I know I made mistakes.”

“Ready to claim what is mine, I’ll even back pay”.

Well, “She’s got a Daddy now and he treats me like a queen.  His love is real.

Your money’s make believe”.

 

I hold my little girl with arms so soft but inside I am wild.

I know I’ll tear him limb from limb if he comes near my child.

 

Chorus

So I call for Quan Yin…….Quan Yin.

Ride in on your dolphins into my skin.  Quan Yin.

Quan Yin…….Protect little Morrigan from the whispering winds she’s innocent.

Quan Yin.

 

Devas:  Quan Yin, Quan Yin, Quan Yin, Bring Peace Within

Quan Yin. Ride in. Quan Yin.

Quan Yin Goddess of Compassion.  Quan Yin Protect Our Children

Quan Yin She’s Innocent.  Quan Yin

 

He tries to look her in the eye says “Honey child do you remember me?”

Well, how’s she supposed to know some bloke that she has never seen?

You’ve overstayed your welcome, it’s time for you to go…how arrogant to think that you could own her soul.

 

She says “Mommy, Mommy, don’t get mad, you know swears are a sin.”  She say’s, “Mommy, Mommy, who’s that man and why…why do I look like him?” 

Chorus

Bridge:

Revenge is the little pill I swallow to hurt you.

Why does it end up killing me?

Oh little child I am not the one deserted you But

Oh little child won’t you forgive me

 

Well, just for the record…the system failed.

They give rights to a criminal man just out of jail.

And just because he knows just what to say doesn’t mean he knows about the family way.

 

It’s gonna take a lot of long night talks and soulful listening.  I’m gonna teach her how to speak her truth and how to call Quan Yin.

Chorus.
