Lyrics

Mother, will you think of me in your prayers?  
This twenty first century is a mess  
Oh you can try and fix it  
But it breaks  
Oh you can try and love it  
But it hates  
Oh it hates  
  
[Chorus]  
This is for everything we had  
It's the good and it's the bad  
It's the state of love and trust  
And this is for you  
And this is for us  
  
And father, will you comfort me if I call?  
This crazy world has lost it's mind  
It's our fault  
Oh you can try and straighten it  
It turns, it turns, it turns  
Oh you can try and smother it  
But it burns  
Oh it burns  
  
[Chorus]  
  
Oh will you break my fall  
Oh when I climb too high?  
I always lose my nerve  
It happens every time  
Oh will you bring me home  
Oh when I'm barely alive  
It's the state of love and trust  
And this is for you  
And this is for us  
  
[Chorus]  
  
Oh will you break my fall  
Oh when I climb too high?  
I always lose my nerve  
It happens every time  
Oh will you bring me home  
Oh when I'm barely alive?  
It's the state of love and trust  
And this is for you  
This is for us  
And this is for you  
And this is for us  
This is for you  
This is for us  
This is for us.
