You Have Been Loved

She takes the back road and the lane
 Past the school that has not changed
 In all this time
 She thinks of when the boy was young
 All the battles she had won
 Just to give him life
 That man, she loved that man
 For all his life
 But now we meet to take him flowers
 And only God knows why
 ♪
 For what's the use in pressing palms
 When children fade in mother's arms?
 It's a cruel world, we've so much to lose
 And what we have to learn, we rarely choose?
 
 So if it's God who took her son
 He cannot be the one living in her mind
 "Take care my love", she said
 Don't think that God is dead
 "Take care my love", she said
 You have been loved
 ♪
 If I was weak, forgive me
 But I was terrified
 You brushed my eyes with angels wings, full of love
 The kind that makes devils cry
 So these days my life has changed
 And I'll be fine (and I'll be fine)
 But she just sits and counts the hours
 Searching for her crime
 ♪
 So what's the use of pressing palms
 If you won't keep such love from harm?
 It's a cruel world, you've so much to prove
 And Heaven helps the ones who wait for you?
 I've no daughters, I've no sons
 Guess I'm the only one
 Living in my life
 "Take care my love", he said
 Don't think that God is dead
 "Take care my love", he said
 You have been loved
