I was going under, thinking about my mother Having visions of her as a child Tryna love her mother through a vodka bottle And in this vision we were reconciled And it's a long way to the meaning of the life I know we'll get there together on the other side Of all this pain we feel and never know why My mother's strong and I am my mother's child I wish the love was stronger between me and my father I had visions of him as a child Tryna love his father through a heart's confusion And in this vision we are reconciled And it's a long way to the meaning of a life I know we'll get there together on the other side Of all this pain we feel and never know why My father's strong and I am my father's child
