When I was 17
My momma could not handle me
I worked hard
On myself
I was trying to own my feelings
And not blame them on anybody else

The psychic told me that in a past life
I was an Aztec, and I was sacrificed
I was dragged away from my mother's side
And she said, "That's why I cried"

But she said, "Try to own your feelings from back when you were somebody else"
And then I learned reiki
The master made a symbol over me
He said, "Now you can heal with your hands
You just lay them down upon yourself whenever you'rе feeling sad"
At the end of the sеssion, we all sat in a circle and sang

Reach out and
Reach out and
Reach out and touch somebody, yeah-ah-ah

When I was 17
My momma could not handle me
And she called for help
But no one came
And nothing worked
And nothing changed
And just by hanging on there darlin'
I grew up to be somebody
You make me feel like a teenager again
Like a teenager again
You make me feel like a teenager again
Like a teenager again
You make me feel like a teenager again
Like a teenager again
You make me feel like a teenager again
