Looks like Dad lost his job again, Mom just b***s her lip
Support we'll try to lend, but there ain't much left to give
Seen through the eyes of a child everything's gonna be okay
But mom cries herself to sleep, praying for a better day
Chorus:
Welcome to the land of broken dreams
Where people spend their whole lives on their knees
The scars of its angry sons that no-one sees
This is our life, our broken dreams
Cancer struck close to home, hit Mom in '88
Seems like they didn't notice until nearly too late
Mom managed to pull through, although not whole
Disease left her life behind but her spirit it stole
Chorus

Support we'll try to lend, but there's nothing left to give
Seen through teenager's eyes, nothing's ever gonna change
Mom cries herself to sleep, praying for a better day
