If I could give my mom the worldOr anything she wanted,I’d give her my own heart and soulAnd leave my own heart haunted.I’d take upon myself her lifeWith all its strife and pain,And let her ease into some spaceWhere she could live again.The pain for me would not be pain,At least not for a while;For I’d be doing it for her,And I would see her smile.I wish that I could take her heartAnd cleanse it with my tears,And make her sorrow go away,And answer all her fears.I wish, I wish, but then I can’t,As I watch helplessly,And take her in my arms and sayI wish that it were me.But loving is a hard, hard way,With all the pain it brings.And yet there is no other wayTo touch the heart of things.
