Mother will you think of me in your prayers?
This twenty first century is a mess
You can try and fix but it breaks
You can try and love it but it hates, oh it hates

This is for everything we have
It's the good and it's the bad
It's the state of love and trust
This is for you, this is for us

Father will you comfort me if I call?
This crazy world has lost it's mind, it's our fault
You can try and straighten it, it turns, it turns, it turns
You can try and smother it but it burns, oh it burns

This is for everything we have
It's the good and it's the bad
It's the state of love and trust
This is for you, this is for us

Will you break my fall when I climb too high?
I always lose my nerve
It happens every time
Will you bring me home when I'm barely alive?
It's the state of love and trust
This is for you, this is for us

This is for everything we have
It's the good and it's the bad
It's the state of love and trust
This is for you, this is for us

Will you break my fall when I climb too high?
I always lose my nerve
It happens every time
Will you bring me home when I'm barely alive?
It's the state of love and trust
And this is for you, this is for us
And this is for you, this is for us
This is for you, this is for us
This is for us
