lyrics

It was a slow decline,
She looked weaker every time
I made the drive I dreaded,
I hated to see her confined to bed.

She was stuck in time,
and time just ticked away
As Disease drug her down
and the earth reclaimed its own.

You smile and claim she's in a better place
sing grace, and save face, but it's all in bad faith.

Faith is not any easy thing, it doesn't take away all my pain
it cannot cover the cost, or return all that I have lost
I heard her gasping breaths, I saw my mother taken away by
Death. Even Jesus wept. Even Jesus Wept. So why can't you?

It's true what they say.
I miss her everyday.
So many things I cannot change.
So many things I didn't change.


You smile and claim she's in a better place
sing grace, and save face, but it's all in bad faith.

Faith is not any easy thing, it doesn't take away all my pain
it cannot cover the cost, or return all that I have lost
I heard her gasping breaths, I saw my mother taken away by
Death. Even Jesus wept. Even Jesus Wept. So why can't you?
