Night in Crucible

from Crucible, PA

Night falls in Crucible

Mothers answer their calls in Crucible

Baby, have no fear, your momma’s here

You’re out of harm

Trouble’s miles from here, as long as you’re here

In my arms

You know I’ll keep you safe and warm

And all will be okay

But all’s not okay in Crucible

Baby, look, it’s your favorite book

The one with the beast and the rose

Taught us it did, that though its hid, the good in us all never goes

Beauty found it even in a beast

And lived happily in the end

But it’s not the end in Crucible

So we pretend in Crucible

Baby, see, look at me

How I speak to the Lord above

Trust him we must, cause he is just

And gives us all his love

I have no doubt he hears me

So take my hand and pray

But are all prayers in vain in Crucible?

Why must we hide our pain in Crucible?

Baby, have no fear, your momma’s here

You’re out of harm

Trouble’s miles from here, as long as you’re here

In my arms

You know you’ll always be safe and warm

Give me a kiss good night

But not all last the night in Crucible

Baby don’t be scared, you’re prepared

My love lasts a life and beyond
