MutPro-Songs - Mom's Worry Lyrics

Two pairs of eyes, so clear and bright
Look at me, questioning, full of light
Their laughter rings, but my heart feels lead
How do I tell them, that mom might be dead

Fear eats me up, but I want to be strong
For you, my children, I'll sing a happy song
Should I tell you the truth, not lie to you
Or hide the truth, keep hoping and swing you

Cancer gnaws at me, day and night
But in front of you, I hold the mask tight
Laugh with you, play, as if all is well
But inside it screams, how long can this spell

Fear eats me up, but I want to be strong
For you, my children, I'll sing a happy song
Should I tell you the truth, not lie to you
Or hide the truth, keep hoping and swing you

Cancer gnaws at me, day and night
But in front of you, I hold the mask tight
Laugh with you, play, as if all is well
But inside it screams, how long can this spell

Fear eats me up, but I want to be strong
For you, my children, I'll sing a happy song
Should I tell you the truth, not lie to you
Or hide the truth, keep hoping and swing you

Side effects mark my face
Fatigue barely lets me keep pace
How long can I hide this from you
Before you realize, mom might not see you through

Questions torment me, day and night
No easy answer, no way to take flight
But one thing is certain
I love you so, And I don't want to lie, that much I know

Fear eats me up, but I want to be strong
For you, my children, I'll sing a happy song
Should I tell you the truth,not lie to you
Or hide the truth, keep hoping and swing you
