Mom.
If only, if only she could see,
That her tears have created her own sea.
Where her memories are the storm, and herself is in the tipping boat.
And to her kids she leaves an example, an eternal picture, a note.
I'm yelling "look at the stars they shine so bright"
But she doesn't look up on this stormy cold night.
I'm scared of drowning in her sorrow,
She yells back "Unborn yesterday, and we die tomorrow"
I yell "But today is great, and a smile is better when you know what it was to be sad.
Cause you can look back, and you can appreciate emotions you never knew you had"
She wants to believe in him,
But she's questioning her skills to swim.
And she's scared of the sunny dry land,
Scared of something new, something a blind mind can't understand.
And I yell "if not for me, then for yourself please!"
She's getting a cold from the weather, the weather made her sneeze.
"Swim to me, before you get sick and lost at sea,
Take my hand and just let the past be.
I can't watch you as you drift away"
I guess there's not more to do than pray.
