    “The lyrics are so visceral and honest to the experience of being a mother. The part that goes “And they've still got their morning paper and their coffee and their time And they still enjoy their evenings with the skeptics and the wine Oh, but all the wonders I have seen, I will see a second time From inside of the ages through your eyes” gets me every time.”
