Mamas in the Desert Daddys in the Sky by Terry Scott Taylor Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She's saved all of the messages
I've left on her machine
Says she plays them over and over
For the comfort that they bring
She missed my call this morning
It's another one she'll save
I'll bet she's gone to talk to Daddy
And lay some flowers on the grave

[Chorus 2]
Says she knows Dad isn't there
But it helps her to get by
My mama's in the desert
My daddy's in the sky

[Verse 2]
Brother Randy's been so good to her
Always got a joke or two
And no one laughs like Mama laughs
Though her heart's been torn in two
Some days she seems past comforting
Most nights don't bring relief
Wish I could carry all she bears
And hide her from her grief
[Chorus 2]
And though her tears like rain go falling
It's still arid there and dry
My mama's in the desert
My daddy's in the sky

[Verse 3]
And our papa's up there waiting
I've seen him in a dream
And for all us desert nomads
There is a living spring
So Mama don't be crying
We'll all get there by and by
Soon we'll leave our dry-bone deserts
Meet our Father
(Our Father)
Our Father in the sky

[Chorus 1]
She says she knows Dad isn't there
But it helps her to get by
My mama's in the desert
My daddy's in the sky
My mama's in the desert
My daddy's in the sky
My mama's in the desert
My daddy's in the sky
My mama's in the desert
My daddy's in the sky
