Every Mother's Way

He lied to everyone
What's easier than sleep?
What's harder than a song?
And at the start
She stole him from the water
It's every mother's way

A lie is ever near
It digs into the sand
Its fingers ever clear
And in the end
She only tried to hold him
It's every mother's way

And now it's nothing
She lives alone
And now every fallen robin
Has found a home
I have a home

It went up into the air
And bent around the sun
What falls upon the earth
Is lost to everyone
He was a flower
His ringing ears could teach him
Of every mother's way

And now it's nothing
She lives alone again
Like another fallen robin
I'll struggle to survive
But I am alive
I am alive
