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
Shell have to let go to get through
If she could shed send him away for his own good

Its such a contradiction
To love someone enough to walk away
The curse of benediction
Is the pain that just wont go away
La la la la
Its such a contradiction

Penny was just sixteen
Answering someone elses dream
With her child
cause they had what she couldnt provide
What should a mother do
She had to let go to get through
If she could she wouldnt do whats for his own good

Its such a contradiction
To love someone enough to walk away
The curse of benediction
Is the pain that just wont go away
La la la la
Its such a contradiction
