Sophia steps into the living room She's not sure what she'll cook today She sits down to read her sacred book Until it's time to pray Her husband steps through the front door Bracing himself for a fight She tries to tell him off the only way she can They never hear each other right Oh, she chants through the evening and then and then Oh, it's 20 years since she's seen her friends Oh, she seeks the answer to a better life Oh, the darkness calls her from deep inside Sophia gazes out onto the trees below Her green card seems as far as the leaves With mindful eyes she cries, but accepts her place in the world There must be some point to this She wonders what her mom would think of her son He's started college today So many miles from home, approaching year 21 If only mother could hear her say Oh, God is a feeling and I feel it now Oh, I wish I could make it up to you somehow Oh, God save me from the burning fires of hell Oh, I was astray but now I'm doing well Oh, Sophia's sacrificed so much for me Oh, I wish she'd understand what I want to be Oh, the only woman that could keep me sane Oh, I cannot tell her of my godless brain Ah, I don't know what I'm going to do Ah, the last person I'd want to fail is you Ah, the pressure of the sea is on me now Ah, I wish I could make it up to you somehow
