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

CHORUS:
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

REPEAT CHORUS
