Mother sings a lullaby
To put her child to sleep
As I watch your closing eyes
I'm hoping you believe

This ever changing world
Will not break you again
I'll be staying
I'll be forever your friend

My motherless boy
My motherless boy

Father turning in his bed
His xanax flavoured dreams
Showing him that he's twice blessed
But nothing's what it seems

Angels know
There's no way to turn back the tide
Let it go
You've both got to leave her behind

My motherless boy
My motherless boy
My motherless boy
My motherless boy

I thought I had a life without you in it
But suddenly I find that there's no limit
And every single time it's getting better
I'm here forever

Mother sings a lullaby
To put her child to sleep
As I watch your closing eyes
I'm hoping you believe

This ever changing world
Will not break you again
I'll be staying
I'll be forever your friend

My motherless boy
My motherless boy

Father turning in his bed
His xanax flavoured dreams
Showing him that he's twice blessed
But nothing's what it seems

Angels know
There's no way to turn back the tide
Let it go
You've both got to leave her behind

My motherless boy
My motherless boy
My motherless boy
My motherless boy

I thought I had a life without you in it
But suddenly I find that there's no limit
And every single time it's getting better
I'm here forever

Mother sings a lullaby
To put her child to sleep
As I watch your closing eyes
I'm hoping you believe

This ever changing world
Will not break you again
I'll be staying
I'll be forever your friend
