Mother, will you think of me in your prayers?
This 21st century is a mess
Oh you can try and fix it
But it breaks
Oh you can try and love it
But it hates
Oh it hates
This is for everything we have
It's the good and it's the bad
It's the state of love and trust
And this is for you
And this is for us
And father, will you comfort me if I call?
This crazy world has lost it's mind
It's our fault
Oh you can try and straighten it
It turns, it turns, it turns
Oh you can try and smother it
But it burns
Oh it burns
This is for everything we have
It's the good and it's the bad
It's the state of love and trust
And this is for you
And this is for us
Oh will you break my fall
Oh when I climb too high?
I always lose my nerve
It happens every time
Oh will you bring me home
Oh when I'm barely alive
It's the state of love and trust
And this is for you
And this is for us
This is for everything we have
It's the good and it's the bad
It's the state of love and trust
And this is for you
And this is for us
Oh will you break my fall
Oh when I climb too high?
I always lose my nerve
It happens every time
Oh will you bring me home
Oh when I'm barely alive?
It's the state of love and trust
And this is for you
This is for us
And this is for you
And this is for us
This is for you
This is for us
