"She was only 54, a wife and a mother of 3.
She wore a fake smile on her face to disguise that she was unhappy.
But no one would know about the pain that resided in her bones.
No one would know the pain kept her awake at night.
your body is crumbling.
I know your hands are shaking
Im here selfishly pleading, mother be strong for me
I cant help, But to think
That this isnt somehow my fault
Your decline began when my lungs took their first breath
You a showed me how to stand tall
You taught me how to be strong
And as I watch those doctors rip skin from bone
Your heart only grew tenfold.
We always rely on
Comfort that we thought was free
(we thought was free)
All in all
Together we will be set free
(Mother be strong for me)
I never told you how much I love you
I never told you how much I care
I took the time we had for granted
And the time I wasted we're never getting back
I havent seen you in five years
And everyday is a constant struggle
How can you accept this as your calling?
How can you accept this as your cross to bear?
I cant accept that
If there is a meaning behind all of this
I just dont see it anymore
So God, if you are listening
Take the pain away
take it all away
When will she be set free
We always rely on
Comfort that we thought was free
(we thought was free)
All in all
Together we will be set free
(Mother be strong for me)
Revisiting this album today and it is just as powerful and demanding as it was eight years ago. Perfectly pertinent to today's pandemic world and all the other donked up messes facing us. This album reminds us to live... while we may.
