A Place In The World

You tried, you held the dark inside your heart Oh why, held it in but wore a grin

Oh Mother why, we know that you would love us all

So mother please don't cry

Oh boys forgive, could you forgive a mother like this I couldn't do for you what I couldn't do for me

I'll be right here when it hurts Just find your place in the world, your place in the world

Mother, won't you give me your heart I hate the anger that he gave me

Mother dear, look at me now, a uniform to show me that I could, be proud of having heart like you did, oh my mother dear

Be proud, oh be proud, are you proud

Oh boys forgive, could you forgive a mother like this I couldn't do for you what I couldn't do for me
