Mother Son

Lady at the lights
Young boy beside her
His silence deafening
Driving through the spotlight of her life
Now she is heard
Now she is seen

Woken from his slumber
Their dance began
A lifetime's length of guilt blame and shame
Laying at each others hands
They'd forgotten each other
They'd forgotten how to laugh
They'd forgotten how to hope and be heard
They'd forgotten how to ask

Oh mother son, oh brother numb
Weep those years of tears and set yourself free
Oh brother son, oh mother numb
Weep those years of tears and set yourself free

Whooah, whoooah, ooooh
Whooah, whoooah, ooooh

Bot at the light mum beside him
Her silence deafening
Driving through the stoplight of his life
Now he is heard
Now he is seen

Woken from her slumber
Their dance began
A lifetime's length of guilt blame and shame
Laying at each others hands
They'd forgotten each other
They'd forgotten how to laugh
They'd forgotten how to hold and be held
They'd forgotten how to ask

Oh mother son, oh brother numb
Weep those years of tears and set yourself free
Oh brother son, oh mother numb
Weep those years of tears and set yourself free

Whooah, whoooah, ooooh
Whooah, whoooah, ooooh

Christmas day sinking fast in
Their handmade cement nest
Their handmade cement nest
