Intro

Dear Mother

I'm a seven year old boy

You're my superhero

And superheroes don't get hurt

Dear Mother

I have trouble in high school

I've really messed up this time

It's something I can't get through

Dear Mother

You say nothing's set in stone

You have to conquer every mountain on your own

And when the road is tough

Stop and have a break

And carry on when you are strong enough again

Dear Mother

I'm a twenty year old boy

You're my superhero

And superheroes don't get hurt

Dear Mother

It's been two years since we found out

They say it's really serious

And there's nothing more they can do

Dear Mother

You say nothing's set in stone

You have to conquer every mountain on your own

And when the road is tough

Stop and have a break

And carry on when you are strong enough again

Dear Mother

I came to visit you last night

I'm your son

The one with whom you used to fight

Dear Mother

They said it was a bad day

They said the drugs were talking

That's why you didn't recognize me

Dear Mother

You said nothing's set in stone

You had to conquer every mountain on your own

And when the road was tough

I thought you'd stop and have a break

But dear mother nothing's set in stone except your name
