Dear Mom (I went to church)

Dear Mom (I went to church)

Dear Mom, I went to church
and I lit you a candle
It's so hard to understand
and so damn hard to handle
I'd like to ease your pain
I'd like to kill your time
I know it's hard to wait
but someday all will be fine!

Dear Mom, I went to church
and I even tried to pray
Some tears came to my eyes
on this sunny Easter Day
Wished you could feel the sun
enjoy the heat of spring
some fresh country air
'n listen to my songs I sing!

You know I'm not a believer
I don't always walk the line
But I'll believe in your love
until the end of time!

Dear Mom, I went to church
though I'm a sinner and a liar
My life's so often felt
like walking the high wire
I hope you could forgive me
as I lately held your hand
Be sure I'll be with you
until the end!

You know I'm not a believer
I don't always walk the line
But I'll believe in your love
until the end of time!

Though I'm not a believer
There's something after death
Keep the good things in mind
until your last breathe!
