Holy Mother.

Luciano Pavarotti, Eric Clapton

Holy Mother, where are you?
Tonight I feel broken in two.
I've seen the stars fall from the sky.
Holy mother, can't keep from crying.

Oh I need your help this time,
Get me through this lonely night.
Tell me please which way to turn
To find myself again.

Holy mother, hear my prayer,
Somehow I know you're still there.
Send me please some peace of mind;
Take away this pain.

I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait any longer.
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait for you.

Holy mother, hear my cry,
I've cursed your name a thousand times.
I've felt the anger running through my soul;
All I need is a hand to hold.

Oh I feel the end has come,
No longer my legs will run.
You know I would rather be
In your arms tonight.

When my hands no longer play,
My voice is still, I fade away.
Holy mother, then I'll be
Lying in, safe within your arms.

"I invite you to read about when and why it was composed and then watch the video – a beautiful expression of the struggle to rise from despair to faith and hope, from loneliness to reconciliation with himself and the power of God, expressed through his relationship to Holy Mary, Jesus’ own Mother.

"In his memoir, Clapton: The Autobiography , the musician writes about a rock-bottom moment he had with his alcoholism in a Rehabilitation Center in 1987:
I was in complete despair,” wrote Clapton. “In the privacy of my room, I begged for help. I had no notion who I thought I was talking to, I just knew that I had come to the end of my tether... and, getting down on my knees, I surrendered.

"Within a few days I realized that... I had found a place to turn to, a place I’d always known was there but never really wanted, or needed, to believe in. From that day until this, I have never failed to pray in the morning, on my knees, asking for help, and at night, to express gratitude for my life and, most of all, for my sobriety.”

A quick check will reveal that, "cursed" is correct

@Dr Stuart Reiss , thanks, it would really sound better. I checked the lyrics on various sites and it is 'cursed'.
