Lyrics:

Most recently on the 2015 compilation album, Longitude.
The song alternates between wavering, altered vocals, and Hansard’s actual vocals.God bless mom
Best of all
Spread your wings
Fly or fall
You'll see how hard it can be
To keep your side of the deal
And you'll see how hard it can be
To keep one foot in the real
God bless you
Strong and true
Stay at home
Good as gold
And you'll see how hard it can be
To keep your side of the deal
And you'll see how hard it can be
To keep one foot in the real
