Mom & Dad (Live From Dublin)

Mom and dad, when you saw me

When you'd seen how far I fell

Did it hurt? 'Cause God knows it hurt me

To make the tears in your eyes dwell

They say pain is worse when you're helpless

To someone you love is hell

And have you words for those moments?

Or is your silence how I tell

That you feel what I have felt?

See how I've grown from that strife

I'd play that role a thousand times

And sing these notes, I've found my voice

But if you questioned were you worthless

But each word you spoke held purpose

If you questioned were you worthless

Look at me

And I held my breath while you were breathing

Searching for new life

And in the dark those silent evenings

When I spoke, did you hear fight?

And I know you cried, you spoke in secret

You prayed with all your might

Without relent, you never weakened

You held me up each time

And I know that you felt worthless

But each word you spoke held purpose

If you questioned were you worthless

Look at me

Without you how, h-h-how

How, how, how, how

Without you how, h-h-how

How, how, how, how (tell me, could you sing that a little louder, please?)

Without you how, h-h-how

How, how, how, how (as loud as you can)

Without you how, h-h-how

How, how, how, how, how

And I know that you felt worthless

But each word you spoke held purpose

And if you questioned were you worthless

Look at me

Mom and dad, now you see me

And the distance that I fell

Thank you so much for singing loud
