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
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
