lyrics

There she was growing stars alone in the night sky
The universe was callous to her
And the bright of her work transferred into starlight
She gave them fire and guided them and
I believe in love because of her

It’s the morning she lost it, and her marriage had cost it
Her three boys didn’t get it but she just lost all her credit
They let her keep the TV, but what of dignity
In the house just before dawn she doesn’t feel much like a mom she
Sips her coffee so quiet crying softly and private
And the time spent soft inside her is the self care of a fighter
They wake up she composes, one door opens one closes
And suddenly she is still here, lets her motherhood fill her
And I believe in love because of her

She was bright coral reef a haven to many
Intricate on the ocean floor and
And they found shelter in her oath of protection
Dignified in the strength she gave and
I believe in love because of her

It’s the day she decided that she just couldn’t right it
Her house was so far under that the bastards had sunk her
Though her goodness meant good friends, her compassion could not be spent
Outside of these walls she wasn’t nearly as wealthy and
What is she to her debtors, just the slack they abet her
And it doesn’t feel like greed to get your family what you need to, she
Flicks the light in the hallway pictures them as kids always
And suddenly she’s still here, lets her motherhood fill her
And i believe in love because of her.
