Oh Mother dear
You've built this world I fear
And I'm a little lost wondering...
Do empty promises draw another ending near?
Love lacking trust
So closely resembles addiction
The doubt, the yearning
Symptoms of the affliction
And can't you see I'm so stricken
Playing the game of balancing contradictions
I think it's time we quantify what’s fact, what’s fiction.
The truth, the lies, the obscure diction
And maybe it's not even as much the things you say.
As the way you stumble around the ones you don't
The ways you phrase you can't, you won't
The things you say you'll do and then don't
Disappointment comes in thirty-one flavors...
And I think you’ve spoon fed me all but one.
But Mother dear
I’d still give this world to hear
The enchanting allure of her voice
To have her here, to hold her near
Call me foolish then call me blind
But I recall a moment in time
Where I was hers...
And she was mine
And if that flame just could not last
If our moment draws near to pass
Solace I take in the facts...
Relentless I loved, untainted the acts
And Mother dear
This heart shall persevere
And offer one more cry
And one last tear
When in doubt its faith I favor...
Relentless loves I’ll always savor.
