When My Mother Died Lyrics - Singles - Kalee Hric

Born on the Reservation 

Daughter of First Nations 

Orphaned as a child 

Abandoned and run wild 

She tried to find truth 

But lies were all she knew 

She never had any peace inside 

But my mother tried 

 

When they sold her for whiskey 

She never cried 

When she felt their hands in the darkness 

She had no place to hide 

As long as she lived 

She was ashamed of her life 

She was just a child 

When my mother died 

 

The hardness of her life took its toll 

On her sweet gentle soul 

When I learned she was ill 

I ran to her side 

I told her about my Jesus 

And she gave Him her life 

She finally knew peace inside 

Then my mother died 

 

When they sold her for whiskey 

She never cried 

When she felt their hands in the darkness 

She had no place to hide 

As long as she lived 

She was ashamed of her life 

She was just a child 

When my mother died 

 

Mama received Jesus 

Then she closed her eyes 

I saw the tear that Jesus dried 

When my mother cried 

I knew she didnt feel the pain Anymore 

I knew she was walking through Heavens door 

And I knew a sweet peace inside 

When my mother died 

 

She took me and ran she didnt 

Want the same life for me 

But she never could see the truth 

That I always knew 

That she was none of the things 

That she believed 

 

When they sold her for whiskey 

She never cried 

When she felt their hands in the darkness 

She had no place to hide 

As long as she lived 

She was ashamed of her life 

She was just a child 

When my mother died 

 

She was just a child 

When my mother died 

When my mother died
