Something broke your concentration So many chores, so short a day Disbelief, then realisation The children only went to play Turned your back for just a moment Hardly careless on your part Chilling sound, childless silence Clamps cold steel around your heart
Chorus: Stone-cold grief Forgiving as a wall Makes us weep with you Makes us weep for you Weep for us all Your sacrifice Made for us all
Mothers who've known these moments Of the nightmare we all dread Reach out to you in your sorrow Silently what can be said Chorus
Something broke your concentration So many chores, so short a day Disbelief, then realisation The children only went to play
