This is the oldest song on the album, written when I was about 12 and learned that my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer.
lyrics
Just push on through the day
Lord, don’t let her feel this way
I’m scared for her life
Lord, please take the knife
If you must, just lock me away
Lord, I’m just a boy
A boy with a mother he loves like a toy
Lord, I’m just a son
A son with a mother, a mother he loves
It starts when the sky is clear
The words bring the clouds near
I hardly can bear it when the
Chance is so rare and
The rain is all that I hear
Lord, I’m just a boy
A boy with a mother he loves like a toy
Lord, I’m just a son
A son with a mother, a mother he loves
Please, don’t let her feel this way
It adds for more words I can say (I can’t do it)
I sulk in a room
Where it’s coming soon
If you must, please show me the way
Lord, I’m just a boy
A boy with a mother he loves like a toy
Lord, I’m just a son
A son with a mother, a mother he loves
Lord, I’m just a boy
A boy with a mother he loves like a toy
Lord, I’m just a son
A son with a mother, a mother he loves
