I'll Be There

Mother wakes up the kids
One at a time
She says, "Pack a few things
We're getting out of this town
I wanna see you break free
I wanna see you succeed
I wanna prove to you life can be a beautiful thing"
Silently down the stairs
Coat hanger's waiting there
Mom smiles through the window
As she breaks up the ice
Breezing past in the mirror
Tell me where and I'll be there
Breezing past in the mirror
Tell me where and I'll be there
Brother takes it all in
Landscapes he's never seen
Sister sleeps on his shoulder
Dreams of faraway things
Mother's heart beats like rain
Pounding on the thick glass
She's steady, confident, brave
A peaceful moment at last
Mom searches for the words
The perfect nouns and verbs
They race for the time zone
That's three days away
Breezing past in the mirror
Tell me where and I'll be there
Breezing past in the mirror
Tell me where and I'll be there
Mother wakes up the kids
One at a time
She says, "Open your eyes"
Breezing past in the mirror
Tell me where and I'll be there
Breezing past in the mirror
Tell me where and I'll be there
Tell me where and I'll be there
