[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
This is for my mother
~#**************#~
From the older brother of your children, made of three
~#**************#~
Now, you found your lover
~#**************#~
‘Cause it wasnt our father who made you laugh and happy
~#**************#~
Its been a long five years
~#**************#~
Ive cried a thousand tears, and here we are, after the war
~#**************#~
But were so much better
~#**************#~
Now, the skies are clearer, now, theres no more slammin doors
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Now, I say
~#**************#~
Dear Mother, how youve come so far
~#**************#~
Your love has fixed all of our broken hearts
~#**************#~
I hope youre proud, Mother, of what youve done
~#**************#~
Its a lifelong lesson and Im not pretendin when I say
~#**************#~
You cleared up my scars
~#**************#~
You cleared up my scars
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
This is for my father
~#**************#~
From the older brother of your children, made of three
~#**************#~
Yeah, youve been so good to us
~#**************#~
And showed us how to live and taught us to be free
~#**************#~
But when Mother told you
~#**************#~
That she didnt love you, all these bridges hit the sea
~#**************#~
So you built another one
~#**************#~
And helped us cross it, even though you were in need
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Now, I say
~#**************#~
Dear Father, how youve come so far
~#**************#~
Your love has fixed all of our broken hearts
~#**************#~
I hope youre proud, Father, of what youve done
~#**************#~
Its a lifelong lesson and Im not pretendin when I say
~#**************#~
You cleared up my scars
~#**************#~
You cleared up my scars
~#**************#~
You cleared up my scars
~#**************#~
Cleared up my scars
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
Dear Mother, how youve come so far
~#**************#~
Your love has fixed all of our broken hearts
~#**************#~
I hope youre proud, Mother, of what youve done
~#**************#~
Its a lifelong lesson and Im not pretendin when I say
~#**************#~
You cleared up my scars
