| Dance in the Boat |
| 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 Chorus: 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 Repeat Chorus |
