waves crashing
child splashing
newborn baby
growing up crazy

teenage years
mom brought to tears
boy crisist
bro's advice is
let it be
thats the key

key to her heart
then the love starts
heart get broken
she starts smokin'

slowly dieing
eyes are cryin'
begining of sadness
she stops the madness

hits adult stage
makin minimum wage
she's tryin'
still survivin'

kids of her own
livin' off a loan
but makin her way
her kids always say
no matter what, she cares
and by their side, shes there

kiss on the cheek
she don't feel weak
sick of the pain
startin' to gain

her kids grow up and in college
gettin more knowledge
she's gettin' older
but she's strong like a soldier

she lives it through till the end
before she passes all ties mend
her daughter becomes a wife
then sadly the end of mom's life

The only mistake I ever made,
was sitting back and feeling afraid
never running any plays
feeling that loss is my fault
at the end of the day


and it is by what the stats will display
but look into my eyes
i'm doing everything i can
you can yell all you want
but i'm only one man
you can try to bring me down
but yet i will still stand
