Mother's Cross
How many angels are there places for?
Should I be scared that heaven doesn't want anymore?
I heard the news about his mom,
Never to mend,
And I can't lift the sadness of his heart.
What do I say that won't help him fall apart?
Oh why is life so beautiful, that it must end?
For the rest of his days he'll never be,
Far from the cruelest truth,
Of grief's companion constancy and,
I wanna hold him, but I'm half a world away
Witness only to the solitude of loss,
And I'm helpless, as he hangs his mother's cross.
As he hangs his mother's cross.
We have the platitudes,
The insufficiency of words,
Can I cut out my heart,
And feed it to you now?
Can I take any part of your pain?
My friend,
You'll never be the same,
Life's so beautiful has changed,
No you'll never be the same again.
For the rest of his days he'll never be,
Far from the cruelest truth,
Of grief's companion constancy and,
I wanna hold him, but I'm half a world away
Witness only to the solitude of loss,
And I'm helpless, as he hangs his mother's cross.
Helpless as he hangs his mother's cross.
Fly with me and look down from the clouds,
What a place to leave,
Can you see it clearer now?
When the sun rises, let's be up to meet the waves.
There's no more lazy days,
Cause they've all been washed away,
And this flesh, no surprise won't survive.
For the rest of his days he'll never be,
Far from the cruelest truth,
Of grief's companion constancy and,
I wanna hold him, but I'm half a world away
Witness only to the solitude of loss,
And I'm helpless, as he hangs his mother's cross.
Helpless as he hangs his mother's cross.
Helpless as he hangs his mother's cross.
Helpless as he hangs his mother's cross.
Her memory, in memoriam,
Temporary leaves,
Drifting from life's tree,
Only forever, we'll be here eternally,
Only forever, we'll be here eternally.
Her memory, in memoriam,
Temporary leaves,
Drifting from life's tree,
Only forever, we'll be here eternally,
Only forever, we'll be here eternally.

Only forever, we'll be here eternally.
