Mother, will you think of me in your prayers?
This 21st century is a mess
Oh, you can try and fix it but it breaks
Oh, you can try and love it but it hates, oh, it hates
And this is for everything we have
It's the good and it's the bad
It's the state of love and trust
And this is for you and this is for us
And father, will you comfort me if I call?
This crazy world has lost it's mind, it's our fault
Oh, you can try and straighten it, it turns, it turns, it turns
Oh, you can try and smother it but it burns, oh, it burns
And this is for everything we have
It's the good and it's the bad
It's the state of love and trust
And this is for you and this is for us
Oh, will you break my fall
Oh, when I climb too high?
I always lose my nerve
It happens every time
Oh, will you bring me home
Oh, when I'm barely alive?
It's the state of love and trust
And this is for you and 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
And this is for you and this is for us
Oh, will you break my fall
Oh, when I climb too high?
I always lose my nerve
It happens every time
Oh, will you bring me home
Oh, when I'm barely alive?
It's the state of love and trust
And this is for you and this is for us
And this is for you and this is for us
And this is for you and this is for us
