You'll end up crying

With your mother's eyes

Pretend you can't see yourself

Could have been better

Could have been worse

You could have seen yourself

Brought up in mom's arms

Nowhere to fall

Now you're out climbing

Taking it all

You'll end up crying

With your mother's eyes

Pretend you can't see yourself

Suffer that moment's pain

Could have been better

Could have been worse

You could have seen yourself

Lost in your love for more

Now you're out climbing

And you should know

You'll end up crying

Wherever you may go

Brought up in mom's arms

Nowhere to fall

Now you're out climbing

Climbing to fall

You'll end up crying

With your mother's eyes

Pretend you can't see yourself

Something is lost from the start

Could have been better

Could have been worse

You could have seen yourself

You're going to need me there
