What does he see in those mashed potatoes?
  what secrets does he hold that can be so grin?
  the silence like a canyon dividing them
  he's on one side she's opposite him
  trying so desperately to get his attention
  
  she says, "honey, you're a bastard of great proportion".
  he says, "darling, I plead guilty to that sin."
  with potatoes half way to his mouth
  he looks her in the eye and says,
  "without a doubt
  my love for you is all that I believe in.
  
  "With those few simple words
  her heart is sent soaring
  she's able to face another day
  . through the anger and the laughter
  she knows that she matters
  and somebody out there cares.
  
  What does she gain by all this sulking?
  what trouble can there be for one so young?
  dark tension building like the clouds of a storm
  her daughter's in her room and she's at the door
  trying to figure what all this fuss is for.
  
  she says, "mother, you're a witch
  and I'll always hate you."
  she says, "daughter, perhaps these words
  you speak are true."
  she quietly moves towards the bed,
  look her in the eye gently says,
  "but I will always believe in you."
  
  With those few simple words
  her heart is sent soaring
  she's able to face another day.
  through the anger and the laughter
  she knows that she matters
  and somebody out there cares.
  
  what do we need to keep us going?
  what do we need at the end of the day?
  mysteries keep piling like dirty clothes
  in the corner.
  you never thought you'd give up.
  but you're beginning to wonder
  when through the gloom you hear
  a familiar voice say....
  .... a few simple words
  that send your heart soaring
  you're able to face another day.
  through the anger and the laughter
  you know that you matter
  and somebody out there cares.
