Mother's Milk...

The sun rose in splendid color
then slipped behind the grey,
every day is an echo away
Hear me crying for your mothers
because i think of mine
and how i will have to face that some day
They say you're not a man,
you'll never understand
till the day you lose you first love,
the first eyes you beheld,
the one who you could tell
anything and she would understand

The sky is grey
but there's light behind the clouds,
trying to find a way back to earth
Maybe one day we will meet again
if my life has been of any worth
i remember well all that you have told
though i don't remember ever holding you
We do what we can and hope the world will understand,
we truly all do the best that we can...

Night is falling but i believe the sun will rise,
some things you must take on faith
My life has been trying in every sense of the word,
hope i get the point none too late
All the things i value come from within your soul
you gave me my love of music and song
i remember you singing as you were cooking in the kitchen
when my world was still innocent and young...

Of all the things i do miss i miss you the most
but then again i always have
growing up alone and lonely
in a mansion on the hill
a ghostly whisper, a bitter laugh

No one is to blame, there's no longer shame
only awkward silences at times
If i could i wouldn't change a thing
for didn't it all bring me here?
and today is where i always want to be...
