The echoes of a generation
Somehow ring of desperation
It's a separate battle that I fight
Kick the dirt and grind their face in
Find a hole and dump the waste in
Worn in the floor, I can't stop pacing
Anxious thoughts are poison darts
Kids with cars, they can't stop racing
Oh, Mama, I'll be okay
There's no reason to be this way
You know in time, you'll be just fine
The journey's long, I'll find my way
Moderation will save our soul
Excess of glut will take it's toll
My body is mine, I'll take my time
The consequences will unfold
Life is full of pain and danger
I'm learning how to cut out anger
See a cliff and dive right in
Let love be my float, your wisdom my anchor
So, Mama, don't cry, I know my heart
I know you never wanted to be apart
We'll keep on dancing, find our balance
The road is long, I just need to start

So, Mama, don't cry, I know my heart
I know you never wanted to be apart
We'll keep on dancing, find our balance
The road is long, I just need to start
