Stepped on a Crack

[Verse] I was just a kid, messin' around, In that little ol' town, where troubles are found, Mama always said, "Watch where you tread," But I stepped on a crack, and now she won't get outta bed. [Verse 2] Days turn to weeks, and her silence is loud, I'm searchin' for answers, lost in the crowd, Tried playin' it cool, but I'm feelin' the strain, Miss her yellin' my name in the summer rain. [Chorus] Stepped on a crack, now my world's gone black, Mama won't talk, and I can't bring her back, A child’s mistake, now the heartache's real, Wish I could find a way to help her heal. [Verse 3] The old porch swing, it creaks like our past, I sit there alone, hopin' this spell won't last, Neighbors whisper softly, as they pass by, Wonderin' if Mom'll ever give life another try. [Verse 4] Went to the pastor, seekin' some grace, Told me to pray and give her some space, But it's hard to relax, and hard to hold tight, When your momma's gone quiet in the dead of night. [Chorus] Stepped on a crack, now my world's gone black, Mama won't talk, and I can't bring her back, A child’s mistake, now the heartache's real, Wish I could find a way to help her heal.
