Lyrics:

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

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

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
