Cradle

You always said what I thought Mama, you’ve been crying too long And I know I can’t feel your pain But a son won’t ever forget from where he came The day you said I lost it all Was the day I stopped climbing the wall Won’t be a day I won’t save you My heart’s in the cradle I love you like I know the rain will fall You always said what I thought Mama, you’ve been quiet too long No one can love you the same Like the children who’ve taken your name The day you said I lost it all Was the day I stopped climbing the wall Won’t be a day I won’t save you My heart’s in the cradle I love you like I know the rain will fall People will say that my life is a shame And tomorrow will change I’ll be proud I walked through the flame I’m ready without you The road straight, the sky blue Dark skies surrounded the past It’s gone now and I’m free at last I’ll take off alone - I’ll be fine on my own It’s time now I stopped looking back You always said what I thought It’s fine now mama you’re in my arms
