Celia (Queen of the Senseless World)

Celia, Celia queen of the M-I
Sweeter than molasses and beautiful to the eye
With her second hand dress, pig tail and bows
She walks with a smile along the dirt road

Crooked letter cinderella who never complained
But deserving nothing better to her but to remain
With a voice smooth as silk singing troubles away
Thanking God for life another breath another day

Fourteen years she awaits her time
To be pricked of her thorns detached from the vine
Momma always said it would be alright
If you trust in the lord and his guiding light

So look into the stars out the window at night
She ignores all the fuss of mom and pops fight
With joys in the midst of woes of many men
The queen of the M-I lifts her tiny hand

Take it easy Celia
Take it easy girl
Take it easy Celia
You won't find no sense in this crazy world

Looking for a way out the hell she was in
Little Celia did things that she could never tell
As a step stone to the dreams that she was pursuing
She justified acts that took bad to ruin

All that she stood for all that she was
And everything her mother never taught her about love
Couldn't be summed upin a simple little phrase
Like never do drugs or crime don't pay

She needed somebody to take her by the hand
Give her a little bit of love then show her God's plan
For what good are words if they're spoken and heard
When a need never met is a soul never cured

Hey sweet Celia lay your head to rest
Cause the light in your eye lets me know that you're blessed
When I'm looking at you I hear the angels sing
And God knows you're a queen

Bridge (Celia's lament)

Tried so hard to get it right
But somebody's got me to the fight
Well I'm trying and I'm struggling to get along
You gotta be okay try to make it thru another day
I know, I know there's a better

What a shame, what a shame, its a shame things never stay the same

You try to take it easy in a world that doesn't need me
I'm trying and I'm struggling to get along
You try to take it easy in a world that doesn't believe me
I don't want to go this way no more

You try to take it easy in a world that doesn't need me
I'm trying and I'm struggling to get along
You gotta be okay got to make it thru another day
I know, oh I know there's a better way
