You're my mom in Heaven's arms

I drove out to the desert
Out there to be with you
Only hills and valleys around me
Big skies and cold and Truth
Walking in the desert
Trying to find that special place
Where we were in this old photograph
When I was a baby in time and space
I'm struggling to find the words
I'm struggling to control my emotions
So much unsaid between us
Our last words in anger spoken
I wish I could take them back
But now it's just too late
I'll never get another chance
To fix our past mistakes
And even though Nature heals our wounds
And ever though I know you forgive me
It doesn't take away that sting
The pain and regret I'm feeling
So I'll just wander around here
Under the beautiful Milky Way
The dark night sky reflects its majesty
Brilliant and eternal and graceful
I drove out to the desert
Even though I knew you wouldn't be there
Because I know you're always around me
And deep down I know you care
You'll love me always and forever
You'll guide me with the stars
Send Angels to look after me
Because you're my mom in Heaven's arms
