Title: “A Mother and Her Child”

Verse 1
Last Christmas was the last time
I held you in my arms so tight
Family gathered ‘round us
While the fire warmed the night
But the candles burned down slowly
And you drifted out of sight
Now every road feels empty
Every dawn just steals the light

Chorus
Just a mother and her child,
The love of a mother never lost the feeling of her child
She keeps writing through the darkness
To the place where you have gone
Says she hears you in the silence
On a journey moving on
You’re free now from the shadows
But you left us in the wild
Just a mother and her child,
The love of a mother never lost the feeling of her child

Verse 2
She spends days and nights in letters
Says she sees you in her dreams
Talks to you across the distance
Across the spaces in between
And I’m standing here beside her
Trying hard to understand
How to keep on living forward
Without holding your sweet hands

Chorus
Just a mother and her child,
The love of a mother never lost the feeling of her child
She keeps writing through the darkness
To the place where you have gone
Says she hears you in the silence
On a journey moving on
You’re free now from the shadows
But you left us in the wild
Just a mother and her child,
The love of a mother never lost the feeling of her child

Bridge
If heaven hears a heartbeat
I hope it carries mine to you
’Cause this life feels so much colder
Without your laughter shining through
But I’ll keep on walking somehow
Even if I walk alone
’Til the day that we can meet again
And I can take my boy back home

Final Chorus
Just a mother and her child,
The love of a mother never lost the feeling of her child
She keeps writing through the darkness
While I whisper to the sky
You are free now in the sunlight
But we’re left here asking why
Still your love keeps us together
Through the heartbreak and the trial
Just a mother and her child,
The love of a mother never lost the feeling of her child
