  • What if I were that mother staring from my TV
    What if that were my brown-eyed baby
    Hungry as she could be
    What if that were my family
    What if that was my world
    Waiting on water waiting on a vaccine
    Waiting on someone to bring me a bag of beans

    Lord have mercy on me
    Lord have mercy on me
    Lord have mercy on me
    Lord have mercy on me

    What of I was that mother and I was waiting on me
    The big success so well dressed on the other side of the sea
    Living with my distractions
    Life's been good to me
    Maybe she's praying
    Praying for a miracle
    Maybe the answer is me

    Lord have mercy on me
    Lord have mercy on me
    Lord have mercy on me
    Lord have mercy on me

    Lord have mercy on me
    Lord have mercy on me
    Lord have mercy on me
    Lord have mercy on me

    I was born in Georgia where I could do as I pleased
    And I can get my hands on just about anything I might need
    Who's that third world woman
    Maybe she could be
    Could be mother, could be daughter
    Could be sister to me

    Lord have mercy on me
    Lord have mercy on me
    Lord have mercy on me
    Lord have mercy on me Writer/s: AMY GRANT, CHRISTOPHER EATON
