lyrics

Mother, can you hear me crying for you?
Can you feel my happiness, too?
Can you sense the change in the wind?
I know that I cannot bring out the words;
can you please say it for me first?
To open the chains that I'm in.

And it seems so, it seems so easy
It seems so, it seems so easy
It seems so, it seems so easy
It seems so

Father, can you please show me how to laugh?
I try, but it falls in half
Can you teach me to look in your eyes?
I know that I cannot make any friends,
I tried, but my path wouldn't bend
I'm not made to compromise

And maybe when I grow up
I will hit a road of luck
And all the chains that are locked on me
Will rust and break apart and set me free

Mother, can you hear me crying for you?
I'm sorry for what you've been through.
Is your heart willing to forgive me?
Father, can you teach me to let you in?
I promise it'll all be different.
This isn't how I want to live.
