Andy Shauf - My Mother's Tears lyrics

Walking by the water i used to feel at ease
Thought the sun was looking out for me

I was raised on beliefs handed father-to-son
For a million years till I came along

And now I'm afraid of my mother's tears
Yes, I've been afraid to answer to this
So I keep my good friends far away from me

Oh, they think I'm risking
The flames just for fun
Like those sleepless nights were
My favorite ones

And I am afraid of my mother's tears

No, I don't wanna owe you
I haven't found any answers
But the salesman is practiced and
His punchline is clean:

"Is there joy in the heart
Of the man that is sure
That the rest of these
People will forever burn"

And I am afraid i am afraid
I am afraid of my mother's tears
