(heather kinley/jennifer kinley/sarah majors)
Joel was her only son
trouble was his way of having fun
with the wrong crowd
he was heading for kingdom come
what should a mother do
she'll have to let go to get through
if she could she'd send him away for his own good
It's such a contradiction
to love someone enough to walk away
the curse of benediction
is the pain that just won't go away
la la la la
it's such a contradiction
Penny was just sixteen
answering someone else's dream
with her child
'cause they had what she couldn't provide
what should a mother do
she had to let go to get through
if she could she wouldn't do what's for his own good
It's such a contradiction
to love someone enough to walk away
the curse of benediction
is the pain that just won't go away
la la la la
it's such a contradiction
