How am I supposed to know what love is really like
When, I've never even been in love before
Aren't you supposed to love yourself before
You can understand how to love someone after all
How can I find a way to keep my mother safe
From the boogie man who hides under the stairs
How can I find a way to take this breath away
When he's gently sleeping soundly next to her
Oh how Oh how Oh how Oh how can I save her
How am I to live this life when the only certainty
Is that death is waiting for me at the end
And every day that passes I know time is running out
And I fear that I may fail the life I've been given
Oh how Oh how Tell me how Oh how am I supposed to live
How am I to define what faith is to a child
When the only explanation lies within
How am I to tell them if they never follow Christ
That heaven doesn't hold a place for them
Oh how Oh how Tell me how when I'm no better than them
