Bloodline

She was a girl living in the city
Clinging to old religion
Praying for electricity
To keep it warm for the little ones
Nobody made her wise to the things a girl might find
In the valley of a hungry man
Who don't care nothing about his bloodline
She got lost in the bloodline
Heavy cost of a bloodline
She went on
She cried at night and kept alive his bloodline

So much riding on the bloodline
Why is he hiding from the bloodline
It aint right
She cries at night and keeps alive his bloodline

She heard heaven is invite only
Reserved for christian soldiers
Not unwed girls living in the city
Asking for change from strangers
Her father said Jesus loves her
Even though she never married
God loves her more than the christians do

Shes part of this holy bloodline
She got saved in the bloodline
The price he paid for the bloodline
Changed her life
She cries at night to keep alive his bloodline
She believes in the bloodline
Lives and breathes by the bloodline
With all her might
She cries at night to keep alive his bloodline

I know I should have never left her
To shoulder all the burden
She probably won't forgive me
God might not even
I made a cross and laid it on her back
But I never broke her spirit
And she owes that to her bloodline
She stayed strong for the bloodline
I did wrong by the bloodline
But she went on
She cried at night and kept alive the bloodline

Sacrificed for the bloodline
Paid the price for the bloodline
For all her life
She cried at night and kept alive the bloodline
She cried at night and kept alive the bloodline
She cried at night, she cried at night
