Contradiction

(Heather Kinley/Jennifer Kinley/Sarah Majors)
 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
 She'll have to let go to get through
 If she could she'd send him away for his own good
 It's such a contradiction
 To love someone enough to walk away
 The curse of benediction
 Is the pain that just won't go away
 La la la la
 It's such a contradiction
 Penny was just sixteen
 Answering someone else's dream
 With her child
 'Cause they had what she couldn't provide
 What should a mother do
 She had to let go to get through
 If she could she wouldn't do what's for his own good
 It's such a contradiction
 To love someone enough to walk away
 The curse of benediction
 Is the pain that just won't go away
 La la la la
 It's such a contradiction
