Oh mother

I think you know better than me

But how am I supposed to know

The things you've seen?

Oh mother

I'm in my twenties

I'm in the time where I think I've seen it all but

All is just blurry

Oh mother

How am I supposed to believe?

The things I've seen seem so different

From the places you've been

Yet I just seem so lost

Yet I know nothing at all

Oh mother

I know I am naive

A troubled worn soldier who saw light at the end of the tunnel

Just out of reach

Oh mother

I think you know what I mean

Your words hurt like a dagger

Because I thought you'd know better

But the light is just out of reach

Just out of reach

#INSTRUMENTAL

Oh mother

Do you think I'll ever make it?

Will I have to tell a lie to my daughter in time

Like the knight you've always been

Or should I tell her the truth

Hand in hand

Like how you did when you weep

Or should I simply stay silent

Should I simply be quiet

And let her

Tread

The world alone?

Find the muse and write her song

On her own?

Should I let her walk to the end all alone

Endlessly

Tirelessly as her legs give way?

I'll watch as all mothers see
