You'll end up crying 
With your mother's eyes 
Pretend you can't see yourself 
Could have been better 
Could have been worse 
You could have been yourself 

Brought up in mom's arms 
Nowhere to fall 
Now you're out climbing 
Taking it all 

You'll end up crying 
with your mother's eyes 
Suffer that moment's pain 
Could have done better 
Could have done worse 
Lost in your love for more 

Now you're out climbing 
And you should know 
You'll end up crying 
Wherever you may go 

Brought up in mom's arms 
Nowhere to fall 
Now you're out climbing 
Climbing to fall 

You'll end up crying 
With your mother's eyes 
Something is lost from the start 
Could have been better 
Could have been worse 
You're going to need me there
