Mom & Dad

Mom and dad When you saw me When you'd seen how far I fell Did it hurt? 'Cause God knows it hurt me To make the tears in your eyes dwell They say pain is worse When you're helpless To someone you love's hell And have you words For those moments Or is your silence how I tell That you feel what I have felt See how I've grown From that strife I'd play that role A thousand times Sing these notes I've found my voice But if you questioned, were you worthless But each word you spoke held purpose If you questioned were you worthless Look at me I held my breath While you were breathing Searching for new life And in the dark Those silent evenings When I spoke, did you hear fight? And I know you cried You spoke in secret You prayed with all your might Without relent You never weakened You held me up each time And I know that you felt worthless But each word you spoke held purpose If you questioned were you worthless Look at me Without you how, how Without you how, how (Without you how) (Without you how) (Without you how) And I know that you felt worthless (every single word) But each word you spoke held purpose (I know you felt it all) If you questioned were you worthless Look at me Mom and dad Now you see me And the distance that I fell
