Mother may I sing this song And speak of times, and what went wrong And speak of times I did condemn Your broken child will never mend Mother may I don't you cry Hold your tears and dry your eyes I lost myself I must confess I lost myself I must confess... Mother may I onto ... the Place this silent ago ... ny Break those chains surrounding ... me To live without your misery Mother may I know you tried To shield your boy from this world so wide You gave me gifts of life and hope I found my ways to trip and choke Mother may I blame on me The selflessness and what must be In a world fits sky and sea Still it seems it wont fit me Mother may I onto ... the Place this silent ago ... ny Break those chains surrounding ... me To live without your misery Mother may I fathers frown Erase those ways I've let you down And if I could I'd try again Would father smile or at least pretend Mother may I wind blows on Into the sky that blocks the sun Father there's no hope when life's like this And your the one I'll truly miss Mother may I onto ... the Place this silent ago ... ny Break those chains surrounding ... me To live without your misery
