lyrics

mother fills the air with her perfume
the candles burn a hole through her eyes
the arms around her offer protection
the stone walls are just somewhere to hide
from those who wouldn't be understanding
of all that is about to unfurl

stand up, hold up your head
and keep on singing
stand up, hold up, hold on
stand up, hold up your head
and keep on singing
stand up, hold up, hold on

and mother knows exactly why she's here
it's not the first and won't be the last time
she always says it will be the last time
although she knows it's not up to her now
and mother knows exactly why she's here
it's not the first and won't be the last time
she always says it will be the last time
although she knows it's not up to her now

and now she stares up into that empty space
and fills it with words and voices, pain and fear
as one of the voices grows louder and tells her what she needs to hear
the voice departs but the pain won't disappear
