| This is for my mother, from the older brother of your children
|
| Made of three
|
| Now you found your lover 'cause it wasn’t our father who
|
| Made you laugh and happy
|
| It’s been a long five years, I’ve cried a thousand tears and here
|
| We are after the war
|
| But we’re so much better now the skies are clearer, now
|
| There’s no more slamming doors
|
| Now I say
|
| Dear Mother, how you’ve come so far
|
| Your love has fixed all of our broken hearts
|
| I hope you’re proud, Mother, of what you’ve done
|
| It’s a lifelong lesson and I’m not pretending when I say
|
| You cleared up my scars
|
| You cleared up my scars
|
| This is for my father, from the older brother of your children
|
| Made of three
|
| Yeah you’ve been so good to us and showed us how to live and
|
| Taught us to be free
|
| But when Mother told you that she didn’t love you all these
|
| Bridges hit the sea
|
| So you built another one and helped us cross it even
|
| Though you were in need
|
| Now I say
|
| Dear Father, how you’ve come so far
|
| Your love has fixed all of our broken hearts
|
| I hope you’re proud, Father, of what you’ve done
|
| It’s a lifelong lesson and I’m not pretending when I say
|
| You cleared up my scars
|
| You cleared up my scars
|
| You cleared up my scars
|
| You cleared up my scars
|
| Dear Mother, how you’ve come so far
|
| Your love has fixed all of our broken hearts
|
| I hope you’re proud, Mother, of what you’ve done
|
| It’s a lifelong lesson and I’m not pretending when I say
|
| You cleared up my scars |
