Amongst the shadows creeping in
A life will end while one begins
When such a burden fills your eyes
It’s just a day in this strange life
Hold a mother’s weary hand
There’s no use trying to understand
It’s so unkind, this isn’t fair, this isn’t right

Then quickly the moment’s gone
And all along through the night
I cry for you and I

Turn a corner, turn it right
Just cast your shadow in the light
Another day has just gone by
The sun and moon lost track of time
And now your eyes are closed, you rest
You look ahead while I digress
It’s so unkind, this isn’t fair, this isn’t right

Amongst the fear a calm creeps in
Forgiveness gives from deep within
She’s gone with reason in her eyes
I’ve come to terms with this strange life
Hold a mother’s weary hand
And she will make you understand
What is life, what is fair, what is right
