More Than This Songtext
von Neurofeith

She woke up to the sound of silence
No toys on the floor, no cries in the night
Coffee for one in the morning light
She′s still a mother, but something ain't right

All these years she gave and gave
Built a world for everyone but her
Every birthday, every sleepless night
She loved them all - but now she stirs

And in the mirror, there′s a woman she forgot
But her eyes still shine with something she thought she'd lost

She says, I've been a mother, I′ve been a wife
I held their hands, gave them my life
But somewhere deep inside my chest
A fire sleeps, it′s not at rest
I'm fourtyfive, but I′m not done
There's more to see, more songs unsung
I love my past, but I want this:
To live a life that′s more than this.


She bought a map, she booked a flight
Wrote a poem in the middle of the night
Took a dance class just because
She laughed again, just because

No regrets, no bitter tears
Just open skies and new frontiers
She's learning now to breathe, to feel
To finally ask, What do I need?

And every heartbeat says it′s not too late
She's not a ghost of who she was,she radiates

I've been a mother, I′ve been a wife
I held their hands, gave them my life
But somewhere deep inside my chest
A fire sleeps, it′s not at rest
I'm fourtyfive, but I′m not done
There's more to see, more songs unsung
I love my past, but I want this:
To live a life that′s more than this.

She's not leaving love behind
She′s just learning to include her own
She's building dreams beside the ones
That made her house a home


I've been a mother, I′ve been a wife
But I′m a woman with her own light
With stories left I've yet to write
And stars to chase beyond the night
I′m foutyfive, but I've just begun
I won′t stand still - I'll run, I′ll run
I love my past, but I choose this:
A life that's full, a life that lives -
More than this.
