Be still your rebel heart
'Cause mine can take a beating
You can't protect a shadow, fight for it and claim it while you're healing
Imagine it's a fairytale
Where you decide the end
For that is all I ever dreamed of
Wished for you since I was ten
Where you are now I'm not a part of
You should know that it's a precious life
If you should fall I'll rip my heart out
But I'll be strong and I'll be brave and wild
I could explain to you a hundred thousand times
Like a mother to her child
I couldn't let you go
The world is all too hazy
I'll find you anywhere you need me
And I'll love you like I'm crazy
You may not hear me now
But someday you will dearly
Hold my hand again like I did yours
Through my tears you'll see it clearly
Where you are now I'm not a part of
You should know that it's a precious life
If you should fall I'll rip my heart out
But I'll be strong and I'll be brave and wild
I could explain to you a hundred thousand times
Like a mother to her child
Hold on now
Be strong now
We're going home
Hold on now
Be strong now
We're going home
Where you are now I'm not a part of
You should know that it's a precious life
If you should fall I'll rip my heart out
But I'll be strong and I'll be brave and wild
Where you are now I'm not a part of
You should know that it's a precious life
If you should fall I'll rip my heart out
But I'll be strong and I'll be brave and wild
I could explain to you a hundred thousand times
Like a mother to her child
Going home
Like a mother to her child
Going home
Like a mother to her child
