Stonewashed Joshua
I watch her waiting powerless
She can’t understand this is her son
Holding him tight late at night
Knowing she’ll never rock him to sleep
She’s singing him songs
As she fights the tears
I watch him holding his hand
Kissing his face carefully,
Saying hello, saying goodbye
Never forget the smell of his skin
As the tears fill his eyes
Every move of his boy he’s absorbing
I close my eyes as I cry
and see You coming closer
With Your arms open wide we hand him over
We want to see him grow
But we know he can’t stay
So please take him home
To the place where one day
We’ll meet again
Now that you’re gone
There’s a wound in my heart
You’re blood of my blood
Now that you’re gone
There’s an empty space
That can never be filled
That can never be filled
I close my eyes as I cry
and see You coming closer
With Your arms open wide we hand him over
We wanted to see him grow
But we know he couldn't stay
You've taken him home
To the place where one day
We’ll meet again
Whispering your name
Reminds us we are parents
Calling out your name
Proves you are a part of us
Cause our heart cries
and our soul aches
