This is my house
My childhood home
Why is it so quiet here
I find myself moving from room to room
Searching for anyone
My God why am I here
How did I get here
Long ago I was on stage
Clinging to my nerves
Singing for the world
Singing for the lord, my lord,
They loved me, they loved me, they want me
My God why am I here
How did I get here
Is this a dream?
Is my mama here
Is papa here?
Mama, Papa
Mama, Papa I am here!
I am here!

Mama I Miss You

Mama I miss you
Where are you
Mama where us Ada my sister
Are you coming home soon
Will you appear on your chair
Sewing a dress for the church picnic
Why am I alone
All alone
All alone
Mama I miss you
I feel so lonely
This can’t be my life now
I am not sure if this is heaven or hell
I thought we would be together
But you are not here
Papa’s not here
No one is here
Why am I alone
All alone
Sometimes I look for you in the cupboards
Under the carpet
Inside the closet
Every door leads to another room that is already here
Why can I not leave
Why can I not leave to find you
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe

I See a Stranger

I see a stranger
I see a stranger in my house
touching my photos
Painting my walls
Stripping the floor
I see a stranger in my house
Wiping the windows
And I can see a world I do not recognize
I see a stranger in my house
Wearing my clothes
And playing my piano
I have never seen her before
But she speaks of me as she knows me
She is not me
She is a faux
Only mocking my legacy
Stop touching my dresses
Stop touching my pictures
That’s Mama’s ring
How did you find it, where did it come from
Ahhh
Get out of my house!
Get out of my house!
Get out of my house!!!

Listen to my words
You can hear me can’t you
The touch you feel is me
I don’t deserve this fate
I don’t belong here
You will release me
Through you through you
I will feel freedom
Through you I...
I will live again
You can feel my hands
can’t you, Feel my touch on your skin
Your body will be mine forever, together
Our souls
Together
Through you I will feel again
Let me in to let me out
Let me in!
