Mother, will you think of me in your prayers?   This 21st century is a mess   Oh, you can try and fix it but it breaks   Oh, you can try and love it but it hates, oh, it hates      And this is for everything we have   It's the good and it's the bad   It's the state of love and trust   And this is for you and this is for us      And father, will you comfort me if I call?   This crazy world has lost it's mind, it's our fault   Oh, you can try and straighten it, it turns, it turns, it turns   Oh, you can try and smother it but it burns, oh, it burns      And this is for everything we have   It's the good and it's the bad   It's the state of love and trust   And this is for you and this is for us      Oh, will you break my fall   Oh, when I climb too high?   I always lose my nerve   It happens every time      Oh, will you bring me home   Oh, when I'm barely alive?   It's the state of love and trust   And this is for you and this is for us      This is for everything we have   It's the good and it's the bad   It's the state of love and trust   And this is for you and this is for us      Oh, will you break my fall   Oh, when I climb too high?   I always lose my nerve   It happens every time      Oh, will you bring me home   Oh, when I'm barely alive?   It's the state of love and trust   And this is for you and this is for us   And this is for you and this is for us   And this is for you and this is for us
