How am I supposed to know what love is really like,
|
When, I've never even been in love before?
|
Aren't you supposed to love yourself before
|
You can understand how to love someone after all?
|
How can I find a way to keep my mother safe
|
From the boogie man who hides under the stairs?
|
How can I find a way to take this breath away
|
When he's gently sleeping soundly next to her?
|
Oh how? Oh how? Oh how? Oh how can I save her?
|
How am I to live this life when the only certainty
|
Is that death is waiting for me at the end?
|
And every day that passes I know time is running out
|
And I fear that I may fail the life I've been given
|
Oh how? Oh how? Tell me how? Oh how am I supposed to live?
|
How am I to define what faith is to a child
|
When the only explanation lies within?
|
How am I to tell them if they never follow Christ
|
That heaven doesn't hold a place for them?
|
Oh how? Oh how? Tell me how when I'm no better than them
|
