"A Mother's Prayer" lyrics

I packed my bags and left my mother
Standing there with a broken heart
I drove away in the dead of summer
It was time for me to make a brand-new start

She said, "Chase that dream you're dreaming
The truth will come for you someday
A winning hand is just breaking even
The cards they deal you are the ones you play

Go on and run. I know it makes you happy
I hope your road is paved with gold
If you don't find what you're after
You can always come back home."

We're all looking for greener pastures
A place to leave our troubles behind
Never knowing all the answers
The ones you need are the ones you'll find

Go on and run. I know it makes you happy
I hope your road is paved with gold
If you don't find what you're after
You can always come back home

Go on and run. I know it makes you happy
I hope your road is paved with gold
If you don't find what you're after
You can always come back home

I packed my bags to see my mother
She's Heaven-bound with a broken heart
