[00:39.46] | Seventy hours a week |
[00:41.24] | It amazes me the power in her feet |
[00:43.13] | With no sleep she raised me |
[00:44.94] | A cocktail waitress with three babies |
[00:46.88] | Who will not fail in a race to try and save me |
[00:49.61] | From humiliation pain and heartache |
[00:51.74] | And still I don’t hesitate to learn it the hard way |
[00:54.69] | She knows she can’t control that |
[00:56.32] | But I love her every effort |
[00:57.56] | It just shows where her souls at |
[00:59.51] | And I know that she hated our poverty |
[01:01.50] | And the clothes donated by the Salvation Army |
[01:03.83] | Honestly I stare at her honorably |
[01:06.32] | She’s more then a mom to me |
[01:08.05] | Whole-heartedly I say that |
[01:09.93] | Knowing there is no pay back |
[01:11.23] | For those who are constantly giving |
[01:12.96] | I just pray that she knows that I care and love her |
[01:15.81] | I see the cross she bares |
[01:17.30] | As she walks through the struggle |
[01:18.57] | And still she remains humble in uncertainty |
[01:20.97] | As her life changed with two major brain surgeries |
[01:23.53] | And an insurance agency she gotta argue with |
[01:26.29] | To get the medicine she needs inside her arteries |
[01:28.70] | And though it’s hard for me |
[01:29.94] | To understand just how she does it |
[01:31.55] | I know I’m a better man because of it |
[01:33.60] | So many cracks that us people can fall through |
[01:35.53] | Yet the love of your mother still calls you |
[01:39.86] | |
[01:58.66] | Father is an ex-marine |
[01:59.99] | And for my moms I know he’d drop everything |
[02:02.14] | Reading psalms he’d stop and try to tell me things |
[02:04.58] | He knew I wouldn’t understand |
[02:06.11] | Until I got inside the hell of things |
[02:08.16] | And the bell would ring and I would go rounds |
[02:10.21] | Fighting on a similar road he had to go down |
[02:12.70] | Without him I’d have no sound no soul |
[02:15.07] | And definitely no rock and roll |
[02:17.28] | Regardless of the copies I sold he still backs me |
[02:19.91] | Reaching for that level as the devil keeps attacking me |
[02:22.92] | Is this how it has to be |
[02:24.43] | Well if it happens to you then it happens to me |
[02:26.97] | He said that’s the meaning of family |
[02:29.39] | Form a team of the people you love understand me |
[02:32.32] | He always knew that there was more to me |
[02:33.84] | Supporting me |
[02:34.61] | Reassuring me to be proud of being Portuguese |
[02:37.29] | And though I’m sure that he |
[02:38.51] | Don’t understand just how I love him |
[02:39.72] | The conversation we had and how I learned from them |
[02:42.22] | Contemplating with dad on how the worlds turning |
[02:44.44] | Concentrating on the good |
[02:45.64] | When the bad is hurting someone |
[02:47.34] | I heard from someone |
[02:48.31] | We are the light that shines through |
[02:49.58] | And it helps to know your family is right behind you |
[02:51.97] | So many cracks that us people can fall through |
[02:53.96] | Yet the love of your father still calls you |
