There she was, typical woman
Touching the cold body of her son
Through her tears flashed a memory
How can they say the things he'd done
This was a boy she grew without a father
Became a man wanted no one to harm her
And then she screamed
No, no, no, not my baby
Not the child that cried into my lap
As I wiped his tears away
No, no, no, not my baby
Dear Lord, you said you'd give me
No more than I can take
She hugged his body in desperation
Tried to exchange her life for his
Policemen watched, they felt her sorrow
For them it was a criminal they thought they killed
She sat there remembering when he first walked
And Mama was his first baby talk
And then she screamed
No, no, no, not my baby
Not the child that cried into my lap
As I wiped his tears away
No, no, no, not my baby
Dear Lord, you said you'd give me
No more than I can take
Interpret the situation
Gunman or son?
Judge not or you'll be judged
The story sometimes isn't always the truth
No, no, no, not my baby
Not the child that cried into my lap
As I wiped his tears away
No, no, no, not my baby
Dear Lord, you said you'd give me
No more than I can
No, no, no, not my baby
Not the child that cried into my lap
As I wiped his tears away
No, no, no, not my baby
Dear Lord, you said you'd give me
No more than I can take
