Song Description

A snapshot of my family, and their sometimes unrealized strength.

Lyrics

Listen mother, you have done your best.
You’ve given lovely, you’ve done quite enough.
Did I not thank you, was I too young?
You’ve got to know that every life you’ve touched,
well, it’s better.

Listen father, I cannot live a dream.
I’ve been a good boy, I won’t burn in hell.
You’ve been a good man, you’ve always been there.
So it’s not a leap of faith, it’s just that you know me
pretty well, by now.

Hold your hands out, they may need them.
Raise your arms, and don’t pray for me.
Well, it’s the start of a new beginning,
and they stronger, than they know.
I am stronger, than you know.

I got a brother, and he works two jobs.
To make ends meet, he lives at home.
Well, he’s not sad, but he’s not talking.
We’re just so scared, to
be alone, forever.

Hold your hands out, he may need them.
Raise your arms, and don’t pray for me.
Well, it’s the start of a new beginning,
and he is stronger, than he knows.
I am stronger, than you know.

I got a sister, she’s so angry.
Looks through the world, with a victim’s eyes.
We all love her, she’s got support here.
If she’s going to make it, she’s got to
put this behind, her.

Hold your hands out, she may need them.
Raise your arms, and don’t pray for me.
Well, it’s the start of a new beginning,
and she is stronger, than she knows.
I am stronger, than you know.

Hold your hands out, we may need them.
Raise your arms, and don’t pray for me.
Well, it’s the start of a new beginning,
and we are stronger, than we know.
I am stronger, than I know.
