lyrics

Give me strength to hold them like they held me like a sweet dream in the morning light everything you did for us was just right what’s a grudge worth on the other side give me strength to catch them when they fall cause this anger that I carry makes me weak how did our roles reverse so quickly? No matter how the time is now you are on your way to Paulownia I will meet you there with the trees in bloom everything you lost it was just a joke cause you’ll have it there in Paulownia give them strength to look us in the eyes time for apologies we’ve left behind when our nest got shaken we all flew away but the four of us are coming home to roost healthcare can’t buy you that kind of healthcare and it sure can’t make you happy when you’re going on your way…
