She was feeling
Hopeless
She was kneeling
Teary eyed, helpless
I stood at her side
Tried to match her stride
Make her feel not so alone
Then she told me; it was chilling to the bone

Oh mom
Please just stay calm
It's okay not to be okay
So listen to me when I say;

Mom, you're not the only one
You smile and you call me ***
Being the super-mom
Acting tough and calm
But inside you cry
You cry and you cry
And hey
Please listen to me when I say;

Mom, you're not the only one
You smile and you call me ***
Being so sweet
But remember the sand under your feet
The clouds in the sky
Birds passing by
And oh, don't forget
The sand castle and your daughters

Mom, you're not the only one
But get well soon
I'll be home
So just look at the moon
I'll see it too.

Mom, you're not the only one.
