I was just sitting here mom, remembering
How you always told me, "Things will work out"
Then you would give me a hug and go about
doing what you were doing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As I grew older and my life began falling apart
My heart was broken and tears filled my eyes
I knew that you were only a phone call away
You still said "Things will work out"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I grew stronger and you grew older and weaker
Everyday I saw a little of you fade away
I grew scared because I didn't know how to live without you
Then you told me that is was alright
"Things will work out"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
