Mama

Mama, I've found the truth
She's beautiful.
I've grown up
And grown strong
I've been hurt
And I'm in pieces
Mama, the world lied
But she doesn't
She wouldn't
And she's beautiful.
Mama, I'm patient
And the truth needs it
And I'm alright
I'm hungry
And I feed on myself
I can't feed on no one else
You didn't raise me that way
And you're beautiful.
Mama, I'm fine
Send Father a hug
Tell him I'm a man
I hug the child inside me
Each night and sleep
He's restless
He'll be that way.
Mama, I’ll be home soon
I won't come empty handed
I'll have her memories
I'll tell you how beautiful she is
And I won't be the same
But I'll be the same for you.
Mama, I've found the truth.
She's beautiful
She still is
And she will be.

Strange Stars

You and I
We met under strange stars
We loved
We lived
And now we leave
Under stranger stars
They're still above us
And now it rains
I'll hold myself over you
I'll soak the drops up
And you can leave home dry
Say goodbye
And the next time it rains
I'll be a wet pebble toss away
Under the same stars
