A poignant ballad about a son who reflects on the emotional distance between him and his mother as he navigates his own life and family. The song captures the bittersweet nature of moving on while dealing with unresolved feelings.
Verse 1:
I used to call you every night,
But silence filled the space, no light.
Building walls, we let them grow,
Years drift by, how did we let it go?
Chorus:
And we,
Fade to grey, heartiness from disaster, will we
Start this way & Forever dream,
That though we fade to grey, the heat becomes the master, love and all.
Verse 2:
Now I’ve got my own little one,
Chasing dreams under the sun.
But I see your face in every smile,
A haunting echo from a different mile.
Chorus:
And we,
Fade to grey, heartiness from disaster, will we
Start this way & Forever dream,
That though we fade to grey, the heat becomes the master, love and all.
Bridge:
I wish we could turn back time,
Rewind the hurt and heal the rhyme.
But life keeps moving, relentless flow,
And here I am, struggling with the shadow.
Chorus:
And we,
Fade to grey, heartiness from disaster, will we
Start this way & Forever dream,
That though we fade to grey, the heat becomes the master, love and all.
Verse 3:
So here’s to the words we never shared,
To the bond we built but never cared.
In every laugh, in every tear,
I’ll carry the weight of all those years.
Chorus:
And we,
Fade to grey, heartiness from disaster, will we
Start this way & Forever dream,
That though we fade to grey, the heat becomes the master, love and all.
Outro:
Fade to grey, memories linger still,
In the silence, I search for will.
Holding tight to the love that's true,
Wishing for a bridge back to you.

About a son moving on and no longer speaking with his mother. Now has a child and family of his own and they haven’t spoken for many years:
The chorus is; And we…
Fade to grey, heartiness from disaster, will we
Start this way & Forever dream,
That though we fade to grey, the heat becomes the master, love and all
