Yeah,
keep
your
head
up,
Maureen.
There's
a
light
that
still
glows.
Even
when
the
shadows
try
to
fold
in.
You
carried
the
weight
of
the
world
on
your
shoulders
Lifting
everyone
up
as
you
grew
much
older
Giving
your
heart,
piece
by
piece,
to
the
needy
While
they
took
all
you
had,
feeling
so
greedy
They
blamed
you
for
storms
that
they
started
to
brew
Pointing
their
fingers,
ignoring
the
truth
of
you
Your
life
falling
down,
bricks
turning
to
dust
You
were
the
iron,
the
only
one
we
could
trust
Oh
Maureen,
you’
ve
given
so
much
of
your
soul
Mending
the
broken,
trying
to
make
everyone
whole
But
who
holds
the
ladder
when
you’
re
falling
low?
Who
wipes
the
tears
when
the
cold
winds
blow?
You’
re
a
soldier
of
love
in
a
war
of
the
heart
Even
when
the
world
tears
your
spirit
apart
Fighting
for
siblings,
protecting
the
kids
Keeping
your
silence,
despite
all
they
did
You
mended
the
marriage,
you
covered
the
cracks
While
taking
the
lashes,
the
slaps,
and
the
attacks
The
insults
they
hurled,
the
hands
that
were
mean
You
bore
it
all
quietly,
behind
the
scene
Your
soul
is
so
weary,
the
rhythm
is
slow
Searching
for
solace,
nowhere
left
to
go
Oh
Maureen,
you’
ve
given
so
much
of
your
soul
Mending
the
broken,
trying
to
make
everyone
whole
But
who
holds
the
ladder
when
you’
re
falling
low?
Who
wipes
the
tears
when
the
cold
winds
blow?
You’
re
a
soldier
of
love
in
a
war
of
the
heart
Even
when
the
world
tears
your
spirit
apart
It’
s
time
to
breathe,
let
the
heaviness
slide
You
don’
t
have
to
carry
the
mountain
inside
For
the
love
of
your
children,
you’
ve
paid
such
a
price
But
darling,
remember,
you
don’
t
have
to
sacrifice
Your
own
light,
your
own
breath,
your
own
right
to
be
free
Just
look
in
the
mirror
and
finally
see
Oh
Maureen,
you’
ve
given
so
much
of
your
soul
Mending
the
broken,
trying
to
make
everyone
whole
But
who
holds
the
ladder
when
you’
re
falling
low?
Who
wipes
the
tears
when
the
cold
winds
blow?
You’
re
a
soldier
of
love
in
a
war
of
the
heart
Even
when
the
world
tears
your
spirit
apart
Rest
your
head,
let
the
morning
light
in
You
don’
t
owe
them
nothing,
you
don’
t
owe
them
sin
Just
a
shoulder
to
lean
on,
a
hand
to
hold
tight
Everything’
s
gonna
be
alright,
Maureen,
alright. (
Fade
out
with
soft
piano
melody) (
Yeah,
you’
re
strong
enough)
