Elegy Unorthodox Methods
In a dangerous environment, a single mother fights against tradition. Protecting her son from the corrupt influences surrounding them both. She tries to raise him as a good and honest person. Year after year, many sacrifices have to be made, but the white lies and tales she tells each Christmas, cause the child to develop a warped perception of life. Danger lurks in every place A mother fights to protect her child Tradition stipulates its way It's easy for them to say Influences all around Hard to change, creatures of habit Sacrifices must be made A few white lies she must tell The pressure lay on her shoulders Decisions unfair Desperately seeking comfort Searching for strength not there Have no fear Unorthodox ways, unorthodox methods Alone and afraid, different from others All alone She carries the strain, the future uncovers Hide your tears Years of hardship and of pain Corruption lingers in all the dark corners Her efforts are in vain His perception of life has changed Don't waste your time He's lost, it's time to pray Stupid to point a finger, she isn't to blame Believing that life will bring him strength The courage to find his way
