Various Artists - Celia (Queen of the Senseless World) Lyrics
Celia, Celia queen of the M-ISweeter than molasses and beautiful to the eyeWith her second hand dress, pig tail and bowsShe walks with a smile along the dirt roadCrooked letter Cinderella who never complainedBut deserving nothing better to her but to remainWith a voice smooth as silk singing troubles awayThanking God for life another breath another dayFourteen years she awaits her timeTo be pricked of her thorns detached from the vineMomma always said it would be alrightIf you trust in the lord and his guiding lightSo look into the stars out the window at nightShe ignores all the fuss of mom and pops fightWith joys in the midst of woes of many menThe queen of the M-I lifts her tiny handTake it easy CeliaTake it easy girlTake it easy CeliaYou won't find no sense in this crazy worldLooking for a way out the hell she was inLittle Celia did things that she could never tellAs a step stone to the dreams that she was pursuingShe justified acts that took bad to ruinAll that she stood for, all that she wasAnd everything her mother never taught her about loveCouldn't be summed up in a simple little phraseLike never do drugs or crime don't payShe needed somebody to take her by the handGive her a little bit of love then show her God's planFor what good are words if they're spoken and heardWhen a need never met is a soul never curedHey sweet Celia, lay your head to restCause the light in your eye lets me know that you're blessedWhen I'm looking at you I hear the angels singAnd God knows you're a queenTried so hard to get it rightBut somebody's got me to the fightWell I'm trying and I'm struggling to get alongYou gotta be okay try to make it through another dayI know, I know there's a betterWhat a shame, what a shameIt's a shame things never stay the sameYou try to take it easy in a world that doesn't need meI'm trying and I'm struggling to get alongYou try to take it easy in a world that doesn't believe meI don't want to go this way no moreYou try to take it easy in a world that doesn't need meI'm trying and I'm struggling to get alongYou gotta be okay got to make it through another dayI know, oh I know there's a better way
