I had a show a few weeks ago

its getting harder and harder to sing

And it is hard to focus on my guitar playing

playing when inside a baby is kicking

At first I was sad and scared

cause this is all I know how to do

then John and Peter played standing up

sometimes something will change and that change

will change you.

then I thought back to six years ago

when Brian Pilkton told me to play

he gave me a car, a typewriter, a guitar

before that all I could do was count days.

then I thought back to before my coma

rehab into coma, my junkie roommates

all that I knew how to do was put cigarettes

out on my self, I took pills and I drank.

and I thought back to when I was 15

how I was squeaky clean, and I wanted to die

I was feeding the homeless while combating loneliness

all that I could do was keep living a lie.

then I think back to that 12 year old poet

how she didn't know it was what she would be

all she could do was hide under her bed

scared to death that somebody might read her diary

see I have changed and i'll keep on changing

and maybe my songwriting will suffer

but its okay if at the end of the day

all i can do next is just be a good mother

its okay if at the end of the day all i can do next

is be a good mother.
