Today's Lullaby Tomorrow's Tears

Time and time again, I think of you The times and the past that make me smile You're the one that molded the soft clay You helped me be made, and I obeyed

When I was young, you sang me a song When I was little, you covered me at night When I was a boy, you showed me the way to walk When I was a man, you still stroked my hand

Never did you think badly of me You stayed by my side all the way In nights of hard, you cradled my head In springs so clean, you encouraged me to fly

But now the fate has taken me away And you are not there to take the pain away The warm hands that cared for me over the years Has left my side to the pain of my tears,

And if that wasn't enough, your doom was set in my hands Your days were numbered by my tears My loyalty killed the only thing that matted in this cold world And my hands alone was the way you where released out of it

Now, dear mother, I thank you I am a man of honors, but only because of you. Now, beloved mother, I beg for forgiveness My tears still burn my face, even today.
