Mother Pain

Thinking 'bout what I said.
Does it matter what I said?
Like how moonlight on the water doesn't change the temperature.
With my eyes closed and your mind closed,
I'm thinking about what I said and I'm getting so upset.
Consider it from your side,
looking out through your eyes,
wondering what wrong I did, did I deny you?

Oh cuz I recall the love you gave,
you said nothing I could do would change.
Now I lie awake and so ashamed.
Mother, can you feel the pain anyway?

Oh one-by-one we fade inside the crystal ball,
but does moonlight, come the morning,
keep on shining in the day?
When at night he'd tuck you in, wasn't "always" always said?
With "I love you, Kath, goodnight my daughter,"
but lately "always" feels so dead.
Oh windows ain't for closed blinds,
Jesus ain't for road signs, looking for you where you care...
But I can't find you there.

Oh cuz I recall the love you gave
you said nothing I could do would change.
Now that I'm awake and so estranged,
Mother, can you feel the pain anyway? Anyway...

Wake up, dry your eyes. It's the time to do what's right.
When it hurts it's alright, pain and love share this road.
Cuz I recall the love you gave,
it's all still in my heart to let you back in on.
But you shut down love when you shun your pain.
And I cannot feel it for you, I've got my own.

Find the love, and feel the love, and find the love inside the pain and (so I know I'm alive today).
