Oh God, if I could only learn to change things
Turn back the hands that dragged us down
White picket fence is falling in the distance
Oh, darling sisters, I can learn to hold you now

Displaced children treated like the adults
Responsibility for comfort you can't teach
Their homes, they only keep on changing
Can they keep us happy? Can they keep us pleased?

Waiting on a sign of your love to ease my mind
But you're too busy floating on air
Waiting on a reason to keep me from your side
If only I could feel it
Then I could understand
If only I could feel it

Mother, if I could only go and change things
Give you the life that you wanted for me
Father, if I could only help you find peace
For the things you did and didn't do that brought you to your knees

Waiting on a sign of your love to ease my mind
But you're too busy floating on air
Waiting on a reason to keep me from your side
If only I could feel it
Then I could understand
If only I could feel it
If only I could feel it
Then I could understand
If only I could feel it
If only I could feel it
Then I could understand
