lyrics

How long could you look her in the eye
Till you’ve turned you face
Away in shame?
For there’s seldom a more
Heartbreaking sight
Than a mother who forgets her name

Could you now?
How could you ever explain?
Her spirit’s all but away
Could you now?
How could you ever explain?
Her spirit’s all but away

Sneering doubt bought your love
How much did you get?
Did you find peace
In the shadow of his coat?
Or did it just sicken you?

Unlock your hopes
Unlock your dreams
And look to me. Leave fear to the enemy
Hope will help us find a way home

How long could you look her in the eye
Till you’ve turned you face
Away in shame?
For there’s seldom a more
Heartbreaking sight
Than a mother who forgets her name

Could you now?
How could you ever explain?
Her spirit’s all but away

(Come home) Let it be known
That you’re not the one that forgot her
(Beat your chest) Turn and face the rest
Tell the world that’s where I’m from
(I’m from)
(I’m from)
