Lyric Contradiction

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

CHORUS:
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

REPEAT CHORUS
