Текст песни: The Woman Who Holds the World + перевод

Underneath the world,

There’s a quiet place

Where shadows never bring the rain,

Like tears to her face.

Underneath the world,

I walked away from her grave

And left her sleeping in the cold;

She had finally gone away.

On my mother’s shelf

There’s a picture of her.

She’s holding me when I was young.

See how simple we were.

I still have that blanket

In a box out of view.

Too young to know how old she was,

I found out as I grew.

Half a world away

With dirt on my shoes,

The shadows find me there and bring the rain,

And they leave my soul bruised.

Broken and alone,

Heaven clouds over,

And from behind I hear a song

That reminds me of her.

I’ll carry your burden, son,

And take away all you fears.

When you look up and see the light,

You know I’ll be here.

When your knees can’t hold you up,

And your heart drowned in tears,

Then you look up and see the light;

You know I’ll be right here.

Underneath the world,

There’s a little woman

Who holds it all upon her shoulders;

Holds the world in its place.

Underneath the world,

But just within view,

A lovely face appears at nightime:

The mother I never knew.
