Lyrics

I've got my mother on the phone, she's talking to me about the things she's doing
It's harder now that she's alone, harder now to see the flowers blooming
Twenty years since daddy's gone, but still the pain's so fresh she can't ignore it
They say each day's the first day of your life but that sure don't take away the days before it
Twenty years of sleepless nights, and she still can't seem to find the light
But she's fighting with all her might, one foot in front of the other left and right
It'll never be how it was before she started fighting the war
I've got my brother on the phone, he's in some crowded bar in Johnson City
He says sis I don't know where I went wrong, I think I maybe need some help in quitting
Seven years of endless night, and he just can't seem to get it right
But he's fighting with all his might, one foot in front of the other left and right
It'll never be how it was before he started fighting the war
And it's easier to say than do it, but sometimes the only way out is through it
Running through the darkness toward the light
Everyone you know is in it, and every day is a new beginning
So baby hold on tight
Cause we're all fighting with all our might, one foot in front of the other left and right
It'll never be how it was before we started fighting the war
