Hold my hand and I'll walk you through this one
Safe and slow
Be aware of the made men telling
You just where to go
Hear their lies and their backwards meanings
Nothin' on the radio, there's nothin' on the TV
Try to suppress this, I'm getting restless
I've got to move, make a change
And I'm thinking there must be some better life
One where I get to hold my head up high, stay in the fight
And I'm hoping there might be some better way
Find a way to keep me going on right through this rain
When the daylight ends
And life weighs heavy on my mind
I still hear the words you sang
Teaching me to do what's right
Oh with your voice so soft
Fighting tears forming in your eyes
Mamma raised me to stand tall
Daddy never seen me cry
I often think that I'm better off pretending
Nothing's wrong
Just ignoring all the fear and the loathing
We've been doing that all along
Just accepting all their lies and their meanings
Put it on the radio, now put it on the TV
I can't suppress this, I won't resist this
I've got to move, make a change
I'm thinking there must be some better life
One where I get to hold my head up high, stay in the fight
I'm hoping there might be some better way
Find a way to keep me going on right through this rain
When the daylight ends
And life weighs heavy on my mind
I still hear the words you sang
Teaching me to do what's right
With your voice so soft
Fighting tears forming in your eyes
Mamma raised me to stand tall
And Daddy never seen me cry
Oh when the daylight ends
And life weighs heavy on my mind
I hear the words you sang
Teaching me to do what's right
With your voice so soft
Fighting tears forming in your eyes
And Mamma raised me tall
Daddy never seen me cry
Oh when the daylight ends
And life weighs heavy on my mind
I hear the words you sang
Teaching me to do what's right
With your voice so soft
Fighting tears forming in your eyes
And Mamma raised me tall
Daddy never seen me cry
