I've been writing letters To myself, to my friends They haven't quite come out right Too much broken, too much to mend I'm walking too heavy Disillusionment thick in my veins I'm heartsick and I'm tired Or isn't that the same Aren't they the same? Mother mother, I swear I looked for the light, and I saw nothing there But, mother mother, I swear If morning will rise, then I will get there But now where do you shelter? Where do you go from here When the mirror shows three faces: Anger and anguish and fear? I thought I knew what hope looked like I thought I knew how to breathe But it's all gone too far And my head's begging my heart To stop giving it bad dreams Father father, I swear I looked to the sky and saw a storm brewing there But father father, I swear If morning will rise, then I will get there Oh mother mother, I swear I thought I was brave, and that this world was fair But father father, I swear I've seen the bottom of the deepest well And even down in the dark, if there is nothing else I know morning is waiting to rise, and so am I, I, I... And I will get there
