My Mother’s Tears

Lyrics

Walking by the water I used to feel at ease Thought the sun was looking out for me I was raised on beliefs Handed father-to-son For a million years till I came along And now I'm afraid Of my mother's tears Yes, I've been afraid To answer to this So I keep my good friends far away from me Oh, they think I'm risking The flames just for fun Like those sleepless nights were my favorite ones And I am afraid Of my mother's tears No, I don't wanna owe you I haven't found any answers But the salesman is practiced and his punchline is clean: "Is there joy in the heart Of the man that is sure That the rest of these people will forever burn" And I am afraid I am afraid I am afraid of my mother's tears
