SOLACE

 

I sometimes think of all

All the times that

We’ve said goodbye

Tried to understand all this

In the eyes of a child

Our hearts were torn inside

And our minds would want to sway

Acting out a minor role

In this courtroom play

 

With no one for solace

And no time for tears

Too many children

For your tender years

Now that I’ve learned to listen

I’m beginning to see

With time and forgiveness

With time and forgiveness

A love will reveal

 

Give us time to understand

Give us time

Give us time to understand

Give us time

 

I questioned your choices

And the methods you used

But who am I to judge

The young and confused

You did the best you could

With the little you had

A thousand miles between you

We didn’t turn out too bad

 

And when I put myself inside your life

And at twenty-five

Be a mother, father, a husband and wife

With no one for solace

And no time for tears

Too many children

For your tender years

Now that I’ve learned to listen

I’m beginning to see

With time and forgiveness

With time and forgiveness

A love will reveal

 

Give us time to understand

Give us time

Give us time to understand

Give us time

Won’t you give us time to understand

And a love will be revealed
