I'm still up on my knees
held together by them, hope,
-and please,
I'm trying to go on, though forgot what's ahead,
It's all wrong holding onto threads
I've got hope and
I've got dread
I had you, now it's dead ends, I still try
Want me to thrive
I'm trying, mom
before I could barely survive
I hold to hope
Cause I can't let go
if I do then I know
I couldn't make you proud, it would be the end. No reason, will, to try again
I'm still up on my knees
I'll together by them, hope, and please,
Please,
Another miracle to have you here. Another miracle. I hold on to hope and can't think too far ahead, because another 80 years without you is too much for my head.
I hold on to hope if only then, for the single thought you're here again
To get up onto my knees and beg God, please give us a miracle she is.
