I'm cracking I'm cracking cracking I'm cracking into a thousand pieces OPEN UP YOUR EYES mama mama please come quick something's wrong I'm feeling sick mama mama I'm in a mess I can't lose this heaviness oh my...oh my my my...oh my Mother mary had a little lamb little lamb little lamb mary had a little lamb its fleece was...oh... mama mama I searched these hills for my sweet lamb I carried myself up the mountain And 5 men came out And I laid myself down And I looked around And I couldn't find my sweet lamb I'm looking for my Bottom Line And as soon as I find it I'm gonna turn my life around oh my...oh my my my...oh my Mother oh my...oh my my my...oh my Brother YOU'RE FLOATING IN A HARBOUR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND YOU'RE LOOKING ALL AROUND YOU AND YOU CAN'T SEE ANY LIGHT AND THE BLACK AND STARLESS HEAVENS WEIGH DOWN UPON YOUR SOUL AND YOU FACE THE OPEN SEA AND YOU'RE NOT SURE THAT YOU WANNA GO AND YOU SCAN THE HORIZON BUT THE ONLY LIGHT YOU FIND IS IN THE PLACE YOU CAME FROM THE PLACE YOU LEFT BEHIND OH SO YOU'RE MOVING OUT MOVING OUT MOVING OUT CUTTING THE CORDS YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING AND YOU DON'T HAVE ANY MAPS AND THE ONLY THING YOU'RE SURE OF IS YOU AIN'T...GOING...BACK 1. YOU WILL BE BORN INTO A STRANGE AND DESOLATE PLACE. 2. IT WILL BE CALLED "THE AVERAGE HOME." 3. THE TIMES WILL BE RESTLESS AND FULL OF UNCERTAINTY. 4. YOU WILL SILENTLY QUESTION THIS OF YOUR MOTHER AS YOU WATCH HER MOVE AWAY. Precious Candles YOUR LIGHT IS YOUR OWN Is LIFE not Precious?... YOUR LIGHT IS YOUR OWN mama mama please come quick take me home from school I feel so sick mama mama something's wrong my heart is breaking but I don't know why oh my...oh my my my...oh my Mother oh my...oh my my my...oh my Brother 5. THERE WILL BE NO ANSWER. 6. YOU WILL BEGIN THE LONG PROCESS OF SHUTTING DOWN. 7. YOUR COUNTENANCE WILL REFLECT LESS LIGHT AND LATER WHEN YOU LOOK AT PICTURES OF YOURSELF YOU WILL WONDER. 8. YOU WILL GIVE UP YOUR BACKBONE TO THE T.V. AND ACCEPT A VALUE SYSTEM 9. PUTTING FORTH LIES, HATRED AND INTOLERANCE IN THE NAME OF LOVE AS ACCEPTABLE. 10. NO ONE WILL STEP FORWARD FROM THE SHADOWS SAYING: "EXPECT THIS, IT IS PART OF THE PATH." 11. YOU WILL DISCOVER DRUGS AND ALCOHOL. 12. YOU WILL INSTINCTIVELY MOVE TOWARDS YOUR OWN BOTTOM LINE. Precious Candles YOUR LIGHT IS YOUR OWN Precious Candles YOUR LIGHT IS YOUR OWN mama mama please come quick hold my head I feel so sick mama mama let me come home wrap me up I can't get warm oh my...oh my my my...oh my Mother oh my...oh my my my...oh my Brother 13. YOU WILL RUSH HEADLONG TOWARDS YOUR BOTTOM LINE IN AN INSTINCTIVE ATTEMPT TO HEAL. 14. YOU WILL GO TO AA TO LEARN WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE LEARNED IN SUNDAY SCHOOL. 15. AND THEN YOU WILL GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION TO CRY. AND YOU WILL CRY AND CRY AND CRY. 16. AND YOUR FRIENDS WILL MOVE AWAY NERVOUSLY AND YOU'LL FEEL LIKE A FOOL. 17. AND NO ONE WILL STEP FORWARD FROM THE SHADOWS SAYING 18. "THE JOURNEY FORWARD INCLUDES MOVEMENT INTO DESPAIR." 19. AND YOU WILL BE GATHERING STRENGTH 20. EVEN AS YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. 21. AND CERTAIN WORDS LIKE LOVE AND... 22. INTEGRITY WILL BE DRAWN INTO YOUR SPINE. 23. AND THEN ONE DAY... 24. YOU WILL TURN OFF THE T.V. Precious Candles YOUR LIGHT IS YOUR OWN Precious Candles YOUR LIGHT IS YOUR OWN mama mama something's wrong there's only silence where there once was song I keep hearing all these bells am I healing or dying? I can't tell. hey ho sail on out sail all night sail on with all your might land ahead land ho land ho land ho I sure miss that little lamb that little lamb called Puff or...was it...Poof? or... well, anyways, I sure miss that sweet lamb lay down upon your pillow... just live all you can knowing that's all you have to give mama mama I almost did it I almost carried myself up the mountainside In my own arms And laid myself down there a New Strength nearby, I know And as soon as I find my Bottom Line I'm gonna turn my life around I sure miss that little lamb... here I go
